Medical Outreach Ministry
CBN partners are making a tremendous difference in poor and remote communities around the world where families and communities lack access to basic medical care. The global COVID-19 pandemic has made the situation worse, leaving many to suffer needlessly. CBN’s Operation Blessing conducts medical and dental missions to those in need, providing medicine, life-changing surgeries, pregnancy help, and training to medical volunteers to help with future needs.
The Need
- People living in poverty endure preventable or treatable health problems because medical services and supplies are not available.
- Problems are exacerbated in remote villages of many countries where people have little access to roads or transportation.
- Proper medical attention can prevent common illnesses or infection from becoming life-threatening.
