AMHF supports medical missionaries and mission hospitals. Today, mission hospitals provide 1/3 of all medical care in Africa—as well as a large part of the health worker training.
The peak of medical missionary work occurred nearly a century ago and since then many founding missions and agencies have withdrawn, leaving a huge unmet need on the continent.
To combat the unprecedented medical challenges, New York businessman Mark Gerson and medical missionary Dr. Jon Fielder, along with their friends and supporters, teamed up to create AMHF.
