CMMB

General Info

CMMB's Medical Volunteer Program (MVP) places licensed healthcare professionals at faith-based healthcare facilities in resource-poor countries.

Doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals devote themselves to helping those most in need for periods ranging from a few months to a few years. Healthcare professionals in a wide range of disciplines participate, with an emphasis on primary healthcare.

In 2007, CMMB placed 374 medical volunteers at locations in 29 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. CMMB-supported physicians and nurses worked in HIV and AIDS treatment programs in Africa, in health education in Thailand, and in primary healthcare programs in rural settings in Latin America.
