A WORLD IN CRISIS: THE HEALTHCARE GAP

Patients Carry
More than Physical Illness

What would you do if your child were critically ill—and no doctor was available? For millions, this is daily reality.

Half the world still lacks access to essential, lifesaving healthcare. Every year:

Over 5 million children under five die needlessly

A mother dies every 2 minutes in childbirth

Countless patients go without urgently needed surgery

This is a global healthcare crisis.

Patients Carry
More than Physical Illness

God has raised up highly trained Christian doctors in underserved countries—ready to serve their own people. The barrier isn’t calling—it’s funding.

Our Response

At Christian Health Service Corps (CHSC), we believe no one should die simply because they lack access to care.

For generations, Christian medical missionaries have answered Christ’s call—to heal the sick and share the Gospel, transforming lives and communities.

Healing Body and Spirit

True healing goes beyond physical care. Patients often face fear, suffering, and uncertainty—and without spiritual care, healing remains incomplete.

Through Christ-centered healthcare, patients and families encounter lasting hope. Healthcare workers are strengthened in their calling, and faith becomes part of everyday care.

By integrating compassionate medical care with spiritual support, we not only treat illness—we bring hope that endures.

A Powerful Solution: National Physicians

God has raised up highly trained Christian doctors in underserved countries—ready to serve their own people. The barrier isn’t calling—it’s funding.

Rural hospitals can’t afford to hire them

Patients can’t pay for care

Doctors are forced to stay in cities to survive

The Opportunity

Supporting a national physician is one of the most impactful ways to expand care:

stethoscope

$15,000 – $35,000 /year

can fully fund a doctor

Location

Immediate placement in high-need areas

Hospital

Strengthens hospitals and prevents burnout

Our Reserve Corps program allows healthcare professionals seeking to volunteer short-term to do so in a way that supports long-term Christian medical missions work. CHSC places healthcare professionals in a growing list of Christian hospitals across Africa, Asia, Latin America and other regions. Christian Health Service Corps works to improve access to primary healthcare, surgical services, and community-based disease prevention services. Non-Christian volunteers are accepted on a case by case basis but solely at the discretion of the hospital and CHSC team the volunteer will be supporting.
