About
Founded in 1979, medical teams international (medical teams) is a christian humanitarian relief agency focused on providing life-saving medical care for people in crisis, such as survivors of natural disasters and refugees. We care for the whole person - physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. Daring to love like jesus, we care for ALL people -regardless of religion, nationality, SEX, or race. We believe every person, no matter where they are or how desperate their situation, matters. Medical teams responds to disasters and protracted emergencies around the world where the needs are urgent, where we have access, and when resources are available. We provide direct medical care to people who have been impacted by emergencies and conflict and have limited or no access to life-saving care. We use professionally trained volunteers and staff to operate fixed or mobile health centers. We work directly with health facilities to improve and strengthen the quality of medical services being provided. In many cases, this involves training of health care professionals and seeking to improve access and management of medicines and medical supplies. We work in partnership with communities, especially with women and children, to empower them to manage and promote their own health as well as reduce preventable diseases and ensure sustainability and well-being long after we leave. In the u.s., we provide free dental and medical services to people with little or no access to healthcare through our mobile health program, traveling to serve communities with unmet heatlh needs.
