Zambia Medical Mission

Zambia Medical Mission

The Zambia Medical Mission is an annual medical outreach conducted in the remote villages of southern Zambia. The outreach is affiliated with the Churches of Christ and is locally operated from the Namwianga Mission just outside of Kalomo, Zambia. The Zambia Medical Mission is a non-profit organization based in Abilene, Texas. It is one of the largest recurring medical missions in the world.

Each July the medical mission team consisting of approximately 200 American and Zambian volunteers traverse rural Zambia providing medical care, food relief, AIDS education, and spiritual counseling to the Zambian people. In 2007, approximately 17,000 people received care.
