About Mission Doctors Association
Mission Doctors Association, based in Los Angeles, CA, mobilizes qualified healthcare professionals to deliver lifesaving medical care in underserved regions across Africa and Latin America. Since 1959, the organization has coordinated the deployment of physicians, dentists, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants from across the United States to serve in mission hospitals and clinics where healthcare access remains critically limited. The Association operates strategically in key regions including Peru, Uganda, and Tanzania, where partner facilities express specific specialty needs based on their communities and current staffing levels. Mission Doctors Association combines direct patient care delivery with professional capacity building, training local healthcare workers to advance sustainable health solutions in their own communities. By supporting Catholic healthcare professionals who answer the call to serve people of all faiths, the organization addresses preventable diseases and improves quality of life outcomes for vulnerable populations. The Association's comprehensive approach ensures that medical missions create lasting impact through both immediate care provision and long-term workforce development. Healthcare professionals interested in international service or individuals seeking to support global medical missions will find Mission Doctors Association's Los Angeles headquarters coordinates opportunities to engage with this established network of healing and professional support.
