CMMB

 

Millions of children needlessly fall victim each year to diseases which are easily preventable or treatable. Accion por la Salud Familiar (Action for Family Health) is a community-based program from CMMB that works to improve family health in the Caribbean and Latin America by addressing these diseases among children under five years of age. The program is implemented in partnership with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), national Catholic healthcare networks and government health ministries in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
