Recorded on 20 January 2022 for ICMDA Webinars.
Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Rick Allen.
Over the past twenty years there has been a movement to use mission hospitals to train local physicians in specialised areas such as surgery, pediatrics, orthopaedics, OB/GYN, as well as family practice and other areas. These programs have been successfully graduating individuals who have excelled in their testing and professions.
The programs with rare exception have been small. Their growth has been constrained by limited resources across a broad range of need such as, infrastructure, a well-prepared support staff, dependable supply chains and a financial sustainability model.
The challenge going forward is to address the issues in order to scale-up these programs so there is an opportunity for more Christ following physicians to serve and lead in Christ’s name.
