Doctors from Living Hope perform surgeries in remote African Village

The Need For Health Care

Simple illnesses left untreated can turn deadly. People in Africa, especially in rural villages, often die from preventable or treatable health problems because medical services and supplies are not available to them.  Insect bites, injuries, and stomach flu shouldn’t result in death. Cataracts, hernias, and an abscessed tooth should not incapacitate life. The sad reality is far too often they do.

Problems are exacerbated in the remote villages where people have little access to roads or transportation. A sick person often turns to the only help available, even if it is a witch doctor. Without proper consultation from professional medical personnel, health conditions often worsen and in some cases result in death.

What We Do

Each year, Living Hope Ministries Operation Hope leads a team of  Doctors, Surgeons, Nurses, Pharmacists, Ministers and Missionaries from across the U.S.A. to Africa to provide medical services, including surgical procedures, and to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ; improving quality of life and bringing hope to thousands in need.

Providing access to basic medicines, medical supplies and training in health issues has a tremendous impact on those living in poor and rural communities. These services reduce the infant mortality rate, prevent debilitation from minor ailments or wounds, and improve the community’s overall health and well-being.
