In a village hard-hit by Covid-19, a Navigator team in Eurasia is operating a primary care clinic where they provide medical and spiritual support to unreached locals. This pioneering ministry team has a permanent medical staff, but they have long-term and short-term needs for additional medical personnel of all types. The team also needs medical equipment and financial support.
Long-Term and Short-Term Medical Professionals
Primary care providers and allied workers, such as physical therapists and occupational therapists and nurses, are especially needed. The Eurasian team hopes to see medical professionals who are willing join the effort long term, to learn the language and to engage more deeply in evangelism and discipleship.
Short-term support from health-care professionals is also needed and welcome. Additional medical professionals are most needed during the summers (northern hemisphere). The greatest need for short-term help would be family practice physicians, particularly those comfortable with prenatal care and gynecology. It is legal in this country to temporarily practice volunteer medicine. No visa is required if the visit is less than 60 days.
Medical Equipment
For those interested in supporting this pioneering work in other ways, the team accepts donations of working medical equipment that is no longer needed in the U.S. The most urgent needs are a portable ultrasound machine, ophthalmoscope, and colposcope.
Financial Contributions
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there is a short-term financial need for food distribution and medications. The team is currently giving about $2000 per month in aid beyond their usual budget. One-time gifts and grants, as well as long-term giving, are all welcome.
