Clinica Nueva Esperanza

The New Hope Clinic is a health clinic established by the Foundation within the municipality of Orica , Honduras .    On January 14th, 2010 the clinic facilities moved from a temporary, rented location to the newly constructed clinic located on 6 acres of property owned by the Foundation For International Missions in San Francisco, Honduras.  The building of the new clinic and its operations are fully funded and directed by The Foundation for International Missions. ​This includes salaries for the physician, nurse, dentist, laboratory technologist, and support staff. FFIM also provides funding for all medical, dental and laboratory supplies, as well as a well stocked pharmacy.

The only other healthcare clinic in Orica is a government-sponsored center that sees a limited number of patients and is generally without medications and supplies.  The vision of the New Hope Clinic is one of ministry to the whole person, not just the person’s health.

​

The clinic has a small, full-time staff led by Dr. Cesar Augusto Davila and offers medical services Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.  It handles emergencies 24 hours per day.  Patients come from 53 nearby communities to the facility where they are treated compassionately and professionally by the staff.  Patients pay a small fee for the office visit and for any prescription drugs.  If the patient is unable to pay, the services are performed at no charge.

​

​Once a patient is stabilized and diagnosed, Dr. Davila may determine that they need more specialized care which can only be provided (for free) at the teaching hospital in the capitol of Tegucigalpa. In these cases, the Clinic assists the families financially to be transported to Tegucigalpa (3 hours away) and for other ancillary costs for the patient and accompanying family.
