" Medicine for Humanity’s mission is to improve the health of women in underserved populations by bringing much needed medical care and creating sustainable programs of education, prevention and treatment. We seek to achieve this goal by:
•Dispatching qualified medical teams to provide recurring on site surgical training to doctors and nurses serving needy populations.
•Development of a Global Medical Education (GME) program using internet based communications for delivery of up to date, much needed medical education content.
•Assisting clinics and hospitals in developing sustainable programs that will address all aspects of womens health care including prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of women’s cancer and maternal birth injuries. Our goals include lowering maternal death rates and the incidence of urinary fistulas." ~ Medicine For Humanity Website
"Medicine for Humanity is an international medical care and teaching organization dedicated to improving the health of women around the world. Our partnership with the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA provides OB GYN residents at the medical school the opportunity to travel with Medicine for Humanity as part of their credentialed rotation.
During the past fourteen years, groups of highly trained and dedicated volunteer physicians and residents from all over the United States have traveled to 24 countries throughout the developing world bringing much needed medical care and creating sustainable programs of education, prevention and treatment for women."
