Strengthening the healthcare facilities of UMC hospitals and clinics in Africa and Asia
Background / History
This Advance project will allow you to designate your gift to a specific hospital listed below or you can give your gift to the hospital that UMCOR staff determines is in the greatest need. To designate to a specific hospital, click on the 'Donate Now' button and select the hospital from the dropdown designation list. The Hospital Revitalization Program assists Methodist churches in Africa and Asia to assess the needs of their health-care facilities.
It then works with them to improve standards of care, always ensuring that the effort will be part of a larger strategy of community-based health education and development.
