The Medical Mercy Program
|
 It's hard to be healthy in the harsh environment of poverty. The world of the poor is not "kid safe," and its children are at exceptional medical risk. When medical crises arise, poor families often lack access to medical facilities. Even when doctors and clinics are accessible, these families rarely have the resources to pay for treatment or medicines.
If children of poverty are to survive and ultimately reach their full potential in Christ, medical intervention is critical.
The children served by Mission of Mercy's worldwide ministry are the ones most in danger of becoming statistics of lives cut short or permanently disabled because of inadequate or
nonexistent health care. That's why each of our partners is charged with providing all registered children with basic health care and medical intervention as needed.
To provide each child in our program with a standard level of care that optimizes his or her physical health, Mission of Mercy has developed the Medical Mercy Program.
Our goal through this program is to provide quality healthcare for the children we serve.
