MATAMOROS, Mexico - Aurora Leticia Cruz has tried to keep up with her blood pressure medication since fleeing Guatemala more than a year ago, but the limbo she finds herself in - stuck in a sprawling camp at the Texas border after traversing Mexico - has made that hard.
When Cruz felt woozy on a recent day as her blood pressure skyrocketed, it could have ended in tragedy, leaving her 17-year-old granddaughter and two great-grandchildren under 3 alone in the camp in Matamoros. But instead, a nurse practitioner from Oregon and a Cuban doctor, who like Cruz is awaiting U.S. asylum proceedings, were able to pull up her medical record and prescribe the correct dosage.
The health care workers who helped Cruz are with Global Response Management, a nonprofit that is attempting to go beyond mere crisis response and build a system to make it easier to track the health of migrants along their journey from Central America to the U.S. border.
“I envision this as a relay race in which we are passing the medical baton to other providers as people work their way north,” said Blake Davis, a paramedic from Maine who volunteers for the organization.
The group’s goal is not just to care for migrants once they reach the border. It wants to offer health care along the routes migrants take.
It’s uncertain how long the camp will even exist since U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to undo the Trump administration policy known as Remain in Mexico, which has forced tens of thousands of asylum seekers to wait across the border while their cases are considered by U.S. courts.
Regardless, there will continue to be people fleeing violence and poverty in Central America, and aid agencies are trying to figure out how to protect them.

Flimsey Grahamnesty, Micro Rubio and the rest of the Bush League Republicans can’t wait to make them all citizens.
Where are these nonprofits getting their money?
They are Not migrants
They are INVADERS.
Maybe studies have shown, that among the potential illegal immigrant population, those who need expensive medical treatment that they cannot afford (for themselves or family members), are even more reliably Democratic voters than the rest.
Since Democrats get to spend other people’s money out of the Public Treasury, price is no object to buying those votes for themselves.
“We’re here!”
I still want to know who is funding these groups.
We are.... They are NGO and charity.
NGO - non govt organizations = really be Govt slush fund and money laundering collectives.
And charities... You would be impressed how many are fronts for socialist grifting of Govt funds.
Rats. Coming here to suck up welfare benefits.
I read the whole thing and it’s pretty damn depressing.
Why are they treating illegal criminal INVADERS? Why are they facilitating their stay in our country? We don’t need them, unskilled disease carriers that they are. We don’t want them, eager parasites to suck on Uncle Sam’s teat for life and give nothing in return but a heck of a lot more useless mouths to feed.
We are so screwed.
They (illegal aliens) were all walking around Yuma this past weekend, young, well fed, well toned and in shape and traveling in groups of 4 or 5. My wife and I counted 38 of them between the airport and the Jack in the Box on 24th.
It is an invasion.
Global Response Management (GRM) is an international medical NGO registered in the United States as a 501(c)(3) organization. They exist to bring emergency pre-hospital care and training to those living in or displaced from conflict zones in high-risk, low-resource areas. Their skilled medical professionals bring Trauma Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) principles and the latest technology to deliver the best possible care to patients.
They’ve had an active clinic, staffed well and taking care of those in the camps. This isn’t new.
