Why Medicine?
Nearly a quarter of the world’s population – a staggering 2 billion people – lack access to basic lifesaving medicine.
Such immense need can be hard to fathom, yet this number represents real lives: children who die from untreated pneumonia, malnourished mothers who give birth to underweight babies, older adults who suffer the mounting complications from untreated chronic diseases.
Mission hospitals and clinics in difficult to access and highly impoverished countries are faced with the challenge of treating a high volume of patients with extensive medical needs, but without the proper resources to do so.
MAP exists to stand in that gap, providing critical medicine, health supplies, and medical devices to the healthcare workers on the ground who are striving to meet the needs of the world’s most vulnerable people.
The need is overwhelming, but with the help of our donors, volunteers, and partners, MAP is making a measurable difference.
Why medicine matters beyond health
Child Development
250 million young children in low-income countries face the threat of inadequate development due to poor nutrition. At MAP, we offer nutritional supplements and oral rehydration solutions to vulnerable children. We believe all young ones deserve to receive the essential nutrition, hydration and access to essential medicines in developing countries to support healthy growth.
Life Expectancy
Uneven access to medicine significantly shortens lifespans, especially for people in the developing world. At MAP, our work includes preventive care, chronic illness treatment, and antibiotics for infections. By ensuring access to these essentials, we contribute to longer, healthier lives for people.
Wealth Access
Poverty restricts healthcare access. Those in poverty can’t afford necessary treatment when they fall ill. Our aim is to disrupt this cycle by granting access to vital medicine, enhancing health and well-being, and ultimately helping to alleviate poverty’s grip.
Education & Growth
Illness is a common hindrance that keeps children from attending school. This in turn prevents parents from working and stunts community growth. What’s more, many of these issues could be prevented with basic medical treatments. By providing essential medicine like pediatric antibiotics, we allow more children to stay in school and receive the education they deserve.
