Do you have Medical, Dental or Optometry training?
Are you a qualified physiotherapist, occupational therapist, midwife, pharmacist, or have other medical training?
Have you thought about using your skills on a short term mission trip?
If yes then Missionary Ventures Great Britain (MVGB) would like to hear from you.
From 12th - 16th April 2008, MVGB are sending an Optometry team to Guatemala. Missionary Ventures has established a general medical clinic to serve the people of rural Nebaj, who have limited access to health care. This will be the first ever Optometry team to visit and provide eye care. They are looking for optometrists to provide eye examinations and prescribe donated spectacles and medication. Approx cost £1,400 - £1,500 (TBC). All team members need to raise thier own funds.
From June 17th - 28th 2008, MVGB are sending a general medical team to work in the Gwembe Vally in Zambia. This follows a successful mini medical team who have just returned from a combined mission. There is a need for qualified medical staff to work alongside the two nurses based at Longezia mission base in Sinazongwe, an area that is home to a great number of rural poor. Team members will be holding clinics on the base and in the surrounding villages, providing the local Tonga people with consultation, treatment and health/nutrition advice. Approx cost £1,250 - £1,350 (TBC). All team members need to raise their own funds.
In Spring 2009, there will be an optometry team going out to the Sinazongwe region of Zambia. This will be the first optometry team to visit this area and it will be wonderful to see a tam of practitioners meeting the needs of the Tonga people providing eye examinations and prescribing donated spectacles and medication

BMS World Mission Medical Team: November 2008
Could you be a part of the medical team to Bangladesh later this year?
After the success of our previous medical teams, most recently in February to Bangladesh, we are planning to send another team of professionals to the same area from 15 – 30 November this year. Having just recently celebrated their centenary year, Christian Hospital Chandraghona has been in existence since 1907 and serves a population of around 105,000 people, the vast majority of whom are tribal people groups and landless Bengali farmers.
BMS is particularly looking for general surgeons, anaesthetists, orthopaedic surgeons, eye surgeons, plastic surgeons, obstetricians, gynaecologists, midwives and other experienced specialists to join this team for these two weeks. In the past, medical teams have been involved in performing life-changing operations; training and advising local staff; treating patients who would not otherwise have been helped and passing on specific expertise in the use of medical procedures and equipment. Time and time again, the testimony from team members is that, as well as having an impact on the hospital, they also return having had their faith challenged and their experience of God deepened.
'CHC is a wonderful place, full of God's goodness and love. The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere gloriously peaceful. Yet its mission runs like a silver thread, not only through its staff, but also through the very fabric of the building and then out into the surrounding community. It is a privilege to be able to join in, participate and be a part of it. After the third time, I still always come away from this place having received far more than I can ever bring.' Shyr, Medical Team February 2008.
Medical teams make a tangible and lasting difference to the lives of people in Bangladesh, so if you have the skills or know of anyone who does, please consider being part of a team and taking advantage of this invaluable opportunity to serve God in a practical way in 2008.
