Hopkins MedLife

spreading awareness on campus, the Medlife Hopkins Chapter strive to organize medical brigades to Peru, Ecuador, and Honduras, participating in mobile clinics in urban impoverished areas. Typically when someone says medical mission they think of a foreign doctor working with a translator to provide medical care to poor patients in a developing country during a short trip. By working with local doctors our patients receive culturally sensitive and sustainable services from doctors who live nearby. The same local doctor who provides services to the poorest of the poor year round is able to provide more services to his or her patients with MEDLIFE’s support. We believe this is the most sustainable and culturally sensitive care that can be provided during a short term service trip.
