Hospitals, clinics, medical missions, etc.
It's the little things that can go a long way in times of disaster, or when the toll of poverty takes hold. Next time you look at the shelves of your medicine cabinet, pause and notice all of the daily necessities that could be challenging, at best, to get a hold of during an emergency, or due to a lack of income. We're talking about the hygiene items that often go missing or are quite simply just unobtainable.
Makerere University (Uganda) Mission Report
December 5, 2009
We are very proud to have “Bugema SDA University” in Uganda. And its theology department has produced many current leaders of Adventist churches in East, Central Africa. They seem to have a special link each other mainly because Bugema theology offered a very low tuition while most of leaders then were not able to afford a high tuition. Maha remembers several years of mission works in and around Bugema outreach only as far as Uganda is concerned.
Many of us have become familiar with hearing tests throughout our school years and during our annual physicals. Maybe we've even taken the routine exams for granted, but in developing countries reality paints a much harsher picture. The impoverished often don't have access to the health care luxury and as a result, hearing impairments are overlooked either all together, or discovered too late in life.
Providing medical care and health education for children is essential to their overall development and progress. Overcoming the cycle of poverty and disease can be a daunting task.
Our lifestyle training and medical treatments are advancing impoverished children both mentally and physically, while they grow to become leaders in their communities. We have started over 40 medical clinics in Mexico alone, and continue to provide medical equipment such as hospital beds, EKG machines, ultrasound machines, and X-ray machines, around the world. This an ongoing program with great potential.
