NYMC Faculty Undertake Medical Missions to Improve Global Health

New York Medical College (NYMC) faculty provide care, free of charge, for the professional and personal satisfaction of giving back

Over mud-packed roads in Yantalo, Peru, on motor taxis and bicycles, parents ferry their children to and from pediatric surgical care. In Lusaka, Zambia, patients line the halls of the country’s largest hospital for stroke evaluation or treatment. In Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, people flock to the Hospital Ricardo Limardo for medical or surgical ophthalmological treatment and care. In Mwanza, Tanzania, families bring their children to medical teams who perform complex facial reconstructions, restoring function and confidence. In Lviv, Ukraine, civilians and soldiers wounded in war arrive daily for specialized care, seeking relief from injuries that have reshaped their lives. And in Kisumu, Kenya, families walk miles to reach teaching hospitals, clutching CDs of scans and images, waiting for the chance to be selected for surgery. In each case, New York Medical College (NYMC) faculty provide care, free of charge, for the professional and personal satisfaction of giving back.
