Medicines-for-Multitudes
More than 435 medical outlets receive donated medicines through the Medicines-for-Multitudes program. In parts of the world where access to medical supplies and medicine is limited, these items are a tremendous blessing to the sick and suffering. Because pharmaceutical companies donate the medicines to CAM, we can ship and distribute $30 worth of product for every dollar given to this program. In 2017, we shipped an estimated wholesale value of $68,871,203 of medicines, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and medical supplies.
Clinic at La Source, Haiti:
Very little medical care is available in the La Source area. CAM opened the Joshua Memorial Clinic in 1996 to provide greatly needed medicines and medical care in this remote, needy area of Haiti. In 2017, the staff at the clinic conducted 11,728 consultations.
Clinic at Waslala, Nicaragua:
CAM’s Balm of Gilead Clinic in Waslala, Nicaragua, opened in February 1997 and has been an important factor in the outreach work that the conservative Mennonite churches from Costa Rica have done in this area. Free medicines are a great blessing to the suffering people who come to the clinic for help. In 2017, the clinic staff did 6,260 consultations.
