Chichimed.com: Providing Medical Knowledge to Impoverished Families in Rural Guatemala

Abstract

This project involves the creation of chichimed.com, a website containing basic medical information to be referenced by individuals in Northern and Latin America, specifically targeted to individuals in rural Guatemala. The project includes the creation of six separate pages within one website, including common conditions, common medications, nutrition, first aid, organ systems, and a home page. The goal of this project is to provide individuals who may not have prior knowledge with basic medical information so that they can better care for themselves and their families and may ultimately live healthier lives. Chichimed.com was created using credible, reliable sources and is meant to be a valuable resource for beginning individuals wanting to know more about medicine and the human body.
