To all Colleagues and Friends,
I just want to comment briefly on the recent post sent by my Colleague David Krupa, CP Executive Director of the Range of Motion Project, organization that has a full time O and P Lab in Guatemala and how their activities impact our O and P private practice here.
While I am sure many persons with O and P needs have been served honestly and with good intentions there are also many patients with resources to pay at least for basic devices that we as a private business can provide to them but many of them are driven away and choose places that provide free prostheses and braces, can you compete with that? I have no doubt that this organization as well as many others are making efforts to serve the underserve as well as those that do not receive any services at all and I wish I could partner with them, only in one occasion since I moved back from the USA in 2004 one organization approached us and we still are working closely with them in helping to reach their goals and objectives here as a US Humanitarian Organization.
This is not about the Range of Motion Project there are other groups that come some once a year, others decide to stay. I want to let you know that while I support any humanitarian mission as I have done most of my professional life I am also trying to protect my business and most importantly I am also trying to serve the people here in Guatemala but I can’t do it for free, when you provide humanitarian services and received monetary donations directly or indirectly from the patients we see it as an informal business and become direct or indirect competitors.
If you are coming to Guatemala to provide free O and P Services please get in touch with us perhaps we can find a way to partner, perhaps we can assist and collaborate with you.
Please follow the link and read an article written years ago if you are interested in this matter.
