Opportunity provided by
Bridges to Malawi
Aims to improve medical care in Malawi by recruiting healthcare specialists, providing supplies and medication, and promoting education.
We are Doctors and Nurses who raise supplies and offer our expertise to assist Doctors in Malawi Africa.
Working closely with our Malawian partners, we help provide medical care at St. Andrews Hospital (a small 80-bed rural semi-private facility), Kasungu District Hospital (a large 350-bed urban government facility), and the K2TASO Clinic (an AIDS patient support and treatment Malawian nonprofit, which is also our partner in all development work. We also participate in rural outreach clinics where we see an average of 400 people per village, sending the most ill to the hospital. We also make house calls to some of the poorest and most infirm, including patients debilitated with AIDS-related problems, in isolated villages. (see trip report in “NEWS” section).
We also help train nursing students by providing them the rare opportunity to experience resource-poor Third World medical practice as part of our medical mission trip. Two US 4th year medical students have participated in our mission trips in the past as well.
