Medical care improves lifespan, dramatically improves infant mortality, and decreases preventable diseases. The Outreach Program strives to bring much needed medical care to rural villages in Tanzania through portable medical units.
The Outreach Program addresses this need in two ways: medical missions trips and the Porta-Doc. Since 2005 the Outreach Program has supported 23 medical missions with more than 1,200 volunteers.
Sixty major surgeries are usually performed over the course of the mission.
