Global Medical Missions has been providing quality medical education since our founding in 2001. Physicians, nurses and other healthcare professions are training medical workers in many medical centers throughout China, with a focus to bring
quality care and caring to the 85% of Chinese without satisfactory access to
care. The volunteer teams' ULTIMATE goal, though, is to bring as many as possible into a personal relationship with our Savior, Jesus. GLOBAL MEDICAL MISSIONS has a 50-year contract with the Communist Party, permitting incredibly free access to ALL levels of society in China. GMM needs medical supplies, medications and volunteer workers."
MISSION & VISION
It is our mission to bring individuals all over the world into God's Kingdom through medicine.

- by sacrificially serving those in need
- by pursuing professional competence
- by living out the character of Christ
- by integrating faith into practice

- by speaking out as a trusted voice respecting healthcare issues of the day
- by recruiting physicians to follow in His steps with us
