Organizing a medical/surgical mission is costly. The results bring great
satisfaction to patients,  participants and supporters. We rely entirely on volunteers who offer not only their time and skills but also finance their own travel, accommodation and meals.

 

There are many  costs to a medical mission – medications, surgical supplies (sutures, mesh, dressings, etc.), anesthesia supplies (oxygen masks, circuits for anesthesia machines, sterile gowns for working inside the operating rooms, sterile drapes for surgical procedures, and other supplies.  Our team also pay the hospital a fee for each surgical procedure to cover costs such as hospital staff, patient overnights stays, oxygen, intravenous fluids, etc..

 

So you can see that it is an expensive undertaking! Every dollar you donate to Medicos en Accion goes directly to patient care. There are no administrative costs to this organization. Being a charitable organization, our financial accounting with Revenue Canada is available as public record.
