MSU MEDLIFE

A MEDLIFE Mobile Clinic brings free, high quality healthcare directly to communities who lack access to basic health services. Staffed by local practitioners, clinics offer basic medical treatment and preventative screens and are designed to find patients who are in need of longterm assistance. Volunteers shadow medical professionals, help in the running of the clinic and learn about local medical practices, global medicine and the affect of poverty on health.

​

The MEDLIFE Mobile Clinic difference:

​

• The mobile clinic travels to poor communities to provide care.

• MEDLIFE partners with local professionals who speak the language, understand local systems and provide culturally sensitive care

• Provide long-term care through the follow-up care program

• Educate patients on health and self care topics to raise awareness, break stigmas and provide patients with the tools to lead healthier lives

• Volunteers are able to learn about the local culture through service

• MEDLIFE works 24/7 in the poorest communities from Peru, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Tanzania even when there are no volunteer trips
