MEETING NEEDS: HEALTHCARE

Healthcare
healthcare

We go to the doctor's office, on a whim. We schedule routine check-ups and take medications, without a thought. Our teeth get cleaned in accordance to a six month calendar reminder. We have what so many others don't, and that's convenient access to health care. Help the Children aims to lend a health-giving hand, to the poverty-stricken. Our medical missions are comprised of volunteer doctors and dentists traveling worldwide to provide medical services to families in need. Clinics have been established to extend health education to the impoverished people around us and abroad. Hospital building projects are underway, to bring medical attention to the people of Guatemala. Helping children and their families is our mission and, with the support of many, lives will change!

  • Have you ever experienced the agony of a tooth ache? You know,that excruciating pain that makes you run to the family dentist in a hurry. What if you had no access to dental care, eliminating your chance to alleviate the pain? Where would you turn? How about watching your child suffer with the unending torture of rotting teeth? What would you do?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • Help the Children currently has more than 50 nurses and doctors volunteering their services for our medical programs. Those that have participated in these outreaches know first hand how fulfilling it is to help the less fortunate.

    I have had the privilege of witnessing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year medical students participate in these events. They have a strong desire and commitment to share both their skills and also their love for God. Dr. Mike Roberts does a remarkable job in organizing...

  • We hear of brave men and women fighting for our freedom. Reports of war, despair, and destruction flood the radio waves. The late night news blares with the bad news of fallen soldiers. But, what we often miss, what is carefully omitted, is the plight of the soldier families left behind. Picture a military husband or wife trying to hold down the home fort, struggling to make ends meet, while constant worry tugs at the daily heartstrings. Imagine children missing their parents, caught...

  • Solar laboratories are deployed in remote areas near villages where electricity is unavailable. Our self-contained medical clinics serve as portable hospitals powered by the sun. We offer the latest solar powered medical, dental and diagnostic technology that can be used in distant lands and also locally, in the midst of disaster. Our equipment is helping to save lives. Join the fight against poverty!
