While international humanitarian funding has declined across several regions of the world, Mission Doctors continue to serve.

The disruptions have led to critical reduction of essential health programs, especially those serving mothers and children. Programs offering prenatal care, malnutrition treatment, ongoing support for patients with HIV and TB, and basic medical services have been reduced or halted, leaving countless families without access to care they once depended upon.

In some areas, clinics have closed their doors. In others, the loss of support has meant that medications, supplies, and trained staff are no longer available. For communities already facing poverty, displacement, and limited infrastructure, this reduction in services creates an even greater burden.

Yet in the face of these challenges, hope endures.

Mission Doctors continue to stand in the gap. Inspired by Christ’s call to heal the sick and care for the vulnerable, Catholic medical professionals bring their skills and faith to places where the need is great and resources are few. They walk alongside local health workers, offer lifesaving treatment, training, and share their faith through compassionate service.

Today, their work is more vital than ever. 

As systems strain under the pressure of shrinking aid, Mission Doctors remind us that the Church’s mission to heal is not dependent on government funding—it is rooted in love, sacrifice, and solidarity.

With every child treated, every mother given care during childbirth, and every wound tended with tenderness, they proclaim the dignity of each person created in God’s image.

Now more than ever, your support makes their mission possible. 

Together, we can ensure that Catholic healthcare continues to reach the most remote and underserved corners of the world—where hope still travels on foot, and healing comes in the form of a caring hand.

Thank you for standing with Mission Doctors. Your prayers and gifts make this work of mercy possible.
