Tanzania and Guatemala Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) Missions

Led by Dr. Ayal Willner, Dr. Namrata Varma the medical team from MemorialCare Miller Children's & Women's Hospital Long Beach, we travel to both Tanzania and Guatemala for our pediatric ear, nose & throat (ENT) missions to provide critical pediatric otolaryngology surgeries and training.

The Need

Tanzania has a population of nearly 55 million people, 70% of whom live in rural areas with little to no access to medical care. Almost half of the population is under the age of 14, with over 10,000 children in desperate need of life-saving cardiac and life-changing general surgeries. Tanzania requires 90,000 additional healthcare providers to stabilize and address the needs of the current population. Ear, Nose, and Throat injuries present a significant amount of hospital admission rates. The Bugando Medical Center that we partner with, treats ENT conditions but is understaffed and unable to treat the high demand of patients.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
