Review for Mercy Trips Healthcare Outreach, Fort Worth, TX, USA
I am the founding board member of Mercy Trips Healthcare Outreach. We began taking small teams of healthcare providers to eastern Uganda to support the efforts of Dr. Patrick Mutono with Lodoi Development Fund in the Pallisa District west of the city of Mbale. We performed surgical procedures at a rural hospital in the village of Kanginima and medical outreach clinics in rural villages in the surrounding area. In 2006 we formed Mercy Trips in order to facilitate the growth of the teams and their impact.

Hire some permanent logistical staff, increase the number of teams sent to developing countries, beginning with other sites in Uganda, and east Africa and eventually to other regions that we have been invited to such as the Philippines.
