Stocked with donations of medicines and medical equipment from CMMB’s Medical Donations Program, LabakCare International and Divine Mercy International Widows & Orphans Organization undertook large-scale mission trips to Nigeria.

Supporting medical mission trips is an important part of CMMB’s mission. Clinical care and health education are crucial for underserved Nigerians in rural communities who don’t have regular access to healthcare facilities. Using temporary clinics, LabakCare and Divine Mercy were able to offer free healthcare consultations, medications, and education to manage many common health problems. Thousands of women, children and families waited in line for the chance to participate in both mission clinics in Nigeria, which treated 5,950 patients through direct and indirect health services.

LabakCare’s mission trip traveled to Sango Otta, located in Ogun State in the center of the country,  where access to basic health care services is more readily available. Here, chronic, non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol are increasingly more common due to poor health education.

Divine Mercy’s mission team worked in Obike and Obokwe, neighboring towns in southeast Nigeria. Because they are located in a remote area, more than 260 miles away from the capital, communities suffer many disadvantages including intermittent access to electricity and a lack of access to hospitals. The mission was able to dispense much needed anti-fungal medications, medicine for pain management, and medical supplies.

In 2015 alone, CMMB sent more than 250 donations to assist critical medical missions like these. Hundreds of thousands of lives in developing countries are affected by CMMB’s Mdical Donations Program donations each year. Over the past 10 years, the program has delivered over $2 billion worth of donated medicines and medical supplies to our local partners in 120 countries around the world.

CMMB is proud to support LabakCare International and Divine Mercy International Widows & Orphans Organization, as we move together toward the goal of healthier lives worldwide.
