Whether it is a tobacco cessation program in Chile, a clinic for those struggling with Tuberculosis in East Timor and in Mexico, responses to the coronavirus pandemic, or rural hospitals preventing and treating patients with Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo &#8211; ensuring access to basic health care has always been a priority of Global Ministries.<\/p>\n<p>Through the work of local doctors and nurses and through public health awareness campaigns of Global Ministries partners, tens of millions of patients have received treatment and hundreds of thousands of lives have been saved. This profound legacy, spanning well over a century in many places, would not be possible without the thousands of nurses and doctors who were trained through the medical education programs of international partners. Global Ministries affirms the medical and health ministries of global partners so that communities that are ignored by the more formal health systems may receive healing.<\/p>\n<h4>Current Health Projects<\/h4>\n<table class=\"simple\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/episcopal_diocese_of\"><strong>Al-Ahli Hospital of the Episcopal Diocese of Jerusalem<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/eap_partners_amity_foundation\"><strong>Amity Foundation<\/strong><\/a> in China<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/lac_partners_association_of_community\">Association of Community Health Educators<\/a><\/strong> in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><strong><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/ccsl_covid_19_response_project\">COVID-19 Response of the Council of Churches in Sierra Leone<\/a><\/strong><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/caminante_outreach#April2020\"><strong>COVID-19 Response of Caminante<\/strong><\/a> in the&nbsp;Dominican Republic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/lac_partners_fundacin_educacin_popular\"><strong> EPES &#8211; Popular Education in Health Foundation<\/strong><\/a> in Chile<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/ieca_priority_projects\"><strong>Evangelical Congregational Church in Angola (IECA) Priority Projects<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/evangelical_hospital_khariar\"><strong>Evangelical Mission Hospital &#8211; Khariar<\/strong><\/a> of the Church of North India<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/tilda_hospital\"><strong>Evangelical Mission Hospital &#8211; Tilda Hospital and Nursing School<\/strong><\/a> of the Church of North India<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"odd\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/friendship_mission\"><strong>Friendship Mission<\/strong><\/a> in Paraguay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/health_priority_for_congo\"><strong>Health Priority for the Disciples of Christ in Congo (CDCC)<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/health_priorities_of_united_church_of_zambia\"><strong>Health Priority for the United Church of Zambia<\/strong><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/lac_partners_albergue_las_memorias\"><strong>Las Memorias Hostel<\/strong><\/a> in Mexico<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/mediterranean_hope#March2020Update\"><strong>Mediterranean Hope COVID-19 Response<\/strong><\/a> in Italy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/colvins\"><strong>Mission Co-Worker Appointments of Larry and Debbie Colvin<\/strong><\/a> in Ghana<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"even\" style=\"height: 15px;\">\n<td style=\"height: 15px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/farmstead_food_security#September2020\"><strong>Mt.
