Mission MEDLIFE's mission is to build a worldwide movement empowering the poor in the fight for equal access to healthcare, education, and a safe home. With this goal in mind, MEDLIFE seeks to deliver aid through three broad avenues: Medicine, Education, and Development. MEDLIFE Mobile Clinics deliver primary care services to individuals and families who otherwise lack access, and MEDLIFE staff run a year-round Patient Follow-Up Care Program for those needing additional care. In addition, MEDLIFE hosts age and gender-specific educational programs that instruct and empower patients on relevant health topics. Participants of SLTs will complete a development project, powered by the MEDLIFE Project Fund, which address specific issues faced by individual communities. Through these initiatives and more, MEDLIFE works towards a world free from the constraints of poverty.
