    About the expedition

    We successfully tested the course donated to local psychologists. They learned the EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapeutic technique and achieved good results with the riverside population. The expedition was supported by Sírio-Libanês Hospital and Samsung. Both donated portable ultrasound equipment and supplies for procedures and surgeries.
