JHM-SCOTLAND :

Medical Mission Outreach


Whats is the medical outreach mission plan & what are the objectives?
The aim of the JHM Medical Mission Outreach is to provide short term access to medical, surgical & dental care in poor, under-served, overlooked and vulnerable communities in the countries where we serve or have mission partners overseas. The aim is to improve the health, wellness, and quality of life of the local indigenous peoples who have no financial resources to pay for good quality healthcare or are living in remote areas where medicines & medical facilities are not readilly available.
We aim to provide medical outreach in various areas of medicine such as General medical practice, Accident and Emergency, Dermatology, Dentistry, General Surgery, Maternity and Midwifery, Nursing, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Occupational Therapy, Ophthalmology, Pediatrics, Pathology, Physiotherapy, and Ultrasound and other medical sub-specialities.
We invite you to get in touch and join hands with us for this special mission assignment either you are medically qualified or not.

These are doctors, surgeons, nurses,midwives, dentists, physiotherapists, pharmacists and other allied medical professionals with any level of experience who feel called to go overseas to help the poor as volunteers. The teams may originate from any country and we connect them to our medical contacts & local outreach doctors and staff on the ground with whom they can work during their stay in the mission field.
Average mission duration can last from 7 days, 14 days, 28 days or longer depending on the availability of qualified medical staff and volunteers and the medical supply available at the time. WHAT WE DO:
