Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Our newest development is in Madagascar. This is a project in concert with SALFA, the healthcare arm of the Lutheran Mission. SALFA operates a network of nine hospitals and sixteen clinics throughout Madagascar. We helped them set up a histopathology reference laboratory at their headquarters in Antananarivo to service these healthcare facilities and also process specimens referred from some government hospitals. At the same time, we started training three Malagasy physicians so that they can eventually take over as pathologists. We are receiving a grant from USAID to help defray some of the expenses and started operations in January 1999. Our project in Nepal is to support Patan Hospital and the missionary pathologist there, Dr. Yuji Kimula. Some of our volunteers have also done some teaching at the Tribuvan University Teaching Hospital. When Dr. Kimula went on a one-year home leave in 1996/97, we arranged for volunteer pathologists to fill in for him. We currently send volunteers to Patan for vacation coverage and general assistance. The Eritrea project is aimed primarily toward training their laboratory personnel and we do not have any position for service work at this time. We may be starting something along that line in a year or two. Unfortunately, we have to suspend our on-site activities right now due to their recent border conflict with Ethiopia. We operated a histopathology laboratory in Nairobi, Kenya, for almost four years, from 1991 until 1995, when we transferred this project to Kijabe Medical Center. Until they find a long-term missionary pathologist, they are staffing this project with short-term volunteer pathologists. They have an agency (World Medical Mission) that handles the screening and scheduling of their short-term medical volunteers, but we continue to help them by referring interested individuals. We have been sending volunteers to St. Jude Hospital in St. Lucia for the past few years.
