2022–2023 Special Project

Congo Medical Supplies – Nurses Training & Transportation

Goal: $15,000

Mission: To provide medical supplies and train nurses for the 13 hospitals that are part of the Congolese Baptist Community.

Imagine bringing your child or yourself to the doctor and, after receiving a diagnosis of acute appendicitis, being given a prescription for sutures, gauze, a scalpel, anesthetics, and antibiotics, and told to go "hurry to town" and find a place to buy all that you need.

People face such dilemmas every day in the Congo, where there is no such thing as health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. Everything must be purchased up front.

It is anticipated that this project will improve the overall level of medical care given to those who seek treatment at each of the Congolese Baptist Community Hospitals.
