-1.3 billion (1,300,000,000) people across the world have no access to effective health care. (World Bank)
-Second and Third World countries account for 93% of the world’s disease burden yet only 18% of world income and 11% of global health spending.
Medical needs around the world are significant. At GCM we believe that providing efficient, well-organized and well-supplied health services to those in need can save lives; those lives will be changed and a door for the Gospel opened. More than half of the 6.6 million children under 5 who die globally each year could be saved by access to effective healthcare.
Through the compassion of volunteers and donors, the example Jesus set of caring for the poor, is being lived out on a daily basis.
GCM works to establish sustainable medical missions and provide basic medical education for communities in desperate need of it. At GCM just going and doing good work is not enough. Instead we work with missions and communities to develop long term programs and facilities that address and work to eliminate the needs of the less fortunate.
We believe sustainable change will come to the health of the communities around the world with medical needs as we provide the help they need until they can independently care for themselves.
