MedGlobal
MedGlobal was founded in June 2017 by physicians who are experienced in humanitarian medicine that addresses the health needs of the most vulnerable across the world. We deploy Short Term Medical Missions (STMMs), composed of carefully-vetted global healthcare volunteers, to assist the most vulnerable around the globe.
Based on needs assessments and best practices, our STMMs:
- Provide assistance and education to local partners and healthcare providers
- Support local medical providers with training, funding, and technology
- Donate medical equipment, medications and medical supplies to provide life-saving and life-sustaining medical services
We sustain our impact through capacity building, partnering with local organizations, and training local professionals. By incorporating best practices, technologies and innovations, we address the need for primary and specialty care services in women’s health, children’s health, non-communicable diseases, infectious diseases, mental health and surgeries.
