Welcome to Medic Assist International
FIRST IN PATIENT BLOCK COMMISSIONED IN GOLI, SOUTH SUDAN!
On June 5th, the community of Goli celebrated the commissioning of the first In-Patient facilities at the Hospital built by EPC, who are partnered in their healthcare initiatives by MAI.
The local SPLM MP for the area, Matthew Muhktar, snipped the ribbon and Bishop Taban prayed a prayer of dedication. More than 400 people followed through the building where John Earwicker, MAI Executive Director, said: "We have waited a long time for this day but this is the end of the beginning."
A team of 10 people travelled from the UK to be part of the celebration, including several donors and a medical team (a MAI Board and two nurses).
See our news pages for more details of the visit.
Our Vision
Medic Assist International exists to save and enhance the lives of vulnerable, poor or oppressed people through the provision of healthcare by indigenous people of vision, integrity and competence.
Our vision is not to have hundreds of projects carrying the MAI name around the globe. Most people receiving treatments will not recognize our logo.
Rather, our vision is to empower and enable local people to provide healthcare facilities and services by providing start up funding and support from UK volunteers.
Help Us
Short term volunteers are essential to the work of Medic Assist International. These are people who give a minimum of a week and a maximum of a month to work alongside our Partners and their staff. Why not register as a volunteer and explore the opportunities to make a difference among needy people?
You Can Help
MAI is a voluntary organization.We depend on the many individuals who support our aims. That is where YOU come in! What may seem a small contribution to you can make a huge difference to someone suffering ill health in the developing world.
There are two ways in which you can help.
Donate or Volunteer
One of our Partners says "Give us a push and we will roll!"
Giving money brings antenatal care to women at high risk of losing their babies. It funds new facilities and basic treatments that are unavailable for miles around.
Monthly gifts between £4 and £25 for a limited period get things started and sustained until local income generation schemes kick in.
Volunteering your skills for a week or so, whether you are a Consultant, GP, nurse, electrician, plumber or DIY fanatic can make a real difference in encouraging and training local professionals.
