Medical missionaries are badly needed in several parts of the world, especially in Africa, where doctor to community member ratios are poor even in areas that are fortunate enough to have access to a physician. Nurses and physical therapists are also needed.
FMWM sends medical personnel who are educated and properly licensed in the US, with at least two years of work experience in their field. Our medical outreaches include compassionate service combined with evangelism and training of indigenous workers.
Are you ready and willing to go but held back by education debt? We have a possible solution! Visit Operation MedSend's website to learn about their exciting program.

Here are just a few of the medical opportunities we have right now:
Mozambique FMC is in desperate straits! The church there owns a hospital built by missionaries 75 years ago. It was abandoned during the civil war and fell into disrepair. A European organization put well over a million dollars into refurbishing it and building new buildings. It is back in operation with local nursing staff as a clinic, only able to give basic first-aid treatment because there is no doctor. We desperately need medical doctors and more nurses for this facility. The government is not supporting the hospital financially so the church needs mission staff to help and to give the facility direction. Nhaloi (pronounced Nyaloy) Hospital, located about 10 miles from the Indian Ocean, is the only medical facility available for about 100,000 people.
Rwanda: Kibogora Hospital needs physicians and nurses. (Follow the link on this page's sidebar to get a sketch of ministry at Kibogora.)
Other possible opportunities exist in Haiti (dependent upon political situation) and in creative access countries. We also send medical workers short-term through VISA Ministries.
Imagine the difference you could make for people suffering greatly who could be helped by your skills and care! Will you leave the status and comforts afforded you at home and give your talents and training to God's Kingdom?
