The Medical Benevolence Foundation has a long and rich history of supporting missionaries, hospital, and various medical projects in developing countries such as Malawi, Kenya, DR Congo, Haiti, Cameroon, India, and more.

The MBF Mission Service Program (MSP) works in support of PC(USA) long term medical missionaries, and through our own short-term mission service program providing coordination between those who are able and willing to serve in healthcare roles internationally and mission sites in need of such service.

What qualifications are necessary to serve at a mission hospital or clinic?
It depends on the type of work needed. Medical people should have completed residency/training or work under the direct supervision of another certified health worker.

Is there short-term work for non-medical people at these facilities?
Yes. interpreters, accountants, carpenters, plumbers, and teachers are just a few of the skilled people needed from time to time.

Is there a way to be reimbursed for travel expenses?
Mission Service personnel are asked to find their own means of paying for travel; however, most churches are willing to help out in some capacity if money becomes an issue.

Is room and board provided?
Most medical mission posts will provided room and meals for a very reasonable price or a discounted total package including airfare, room, meals, and transportation.

How do I find out which of the partner hospitals or clinics need short-tem mission service personnel and when they need them?
Since the needs are always changing, this is hard to answer. The best thing is to complete the short term mission service information form and our MBF Mission Service Director, Dr. Chip Lambert, will contact you to discuss the current needs.
