For Love Medical Ministry
“And He [Jesus] sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.” – Luke 9:2
Uganda has a doctor-patient ratio of approximately 1 to 25,000 - far below the WHO recommended ratio of 1 to 1,000. For Love Medical Ministry seeks to meet this need by ensuring that everyone has access to holistic health care and developing physically and spiritually healthy individuals and communities.
Our medical outreaches provide free essential health care services and public health education to villages with limited access to resources. Our team of Christian medical professionals provide personalized care with emotional and spiritual support, treating patients with love and dignity at every interaction. We also partner with local churches to empower them in evangelism and discipleship by creating opportunities to reach their communities with the Gospel in action.

Medical Outreaches
Since 2022, our medical outreaches have been striving to bridge Uganda's gap in access to medical care. In the communities we serve, many patients have never had an opportunity to see a doctor. As a result, many illnesses go undiagnosed and untreated or are managed through traditional methods only. Our team of medical professionals provide free investigation, diagnosis, medication, and referrals for those in need of specialized care. We also offer public health education including prevention and early detection of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and HIV/AIDS.
Every person who attends our medical outreaches also gets a chance to hear the Gospel. Those who accept Christ are connected with our local church partner for discipleship and receive a Bible in the local language. Through our partnership with the local church, we also conduct open-air evangelistic crusades to further share the message of Christ within the community.
Mobile Medical Clinic
Uganda has less than 80 public hospitals to serve the medical needs of its 46 million people. There are many private clinics, but their cost of care is too high for most people to utilize them. Many people also can't afford to travel to or stay at hospitals while they wait for care in the overloaded public health system. By necessity, hospitals prioritize major and critical cases, often leaving people in need of minor, yet important, surgeries unattended to.
In the future, we hope to obtain a mobile medical clinic to expand the care we can provide as part of our medical outreaches. This will provide access to labs and minor medical procedures in remote areas. Some of these easily treatable conditions, such as hernias or infected wounds, if not promptly taken care of, can become complicated and life-threatening.
