We use storytelling to teach patients how to prevent and cure common health problems and use illustrations to teach patients how to take their medicines.

MMI - Praying for sick patients

We also pray for our patients, and share the Good News of Jesus with them. We know that the people who come to our clinics, need more than physical bandages for the wounds on their bodies; even more, they need to know the love and power of Christ.
