You trained to heal. In Bangladesh, your skill can reach patients who have nowhere else to turn, and who may never have met a follower of Christ. Memorial Christian Hospital needs physicians ready to practice medicine where it changes lives and opens hearts to the gospel.
The Opportunity
We have immediate openings for primary care physicians in internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, and OB/GYN. We also need surgeons and sub-specialist surgeons for short-term or long-term service at our hospital in South Asia. Whether you can give a few weeks or several years, your training meets a real and pressing need.
The Need
Memorial Christian Hospital (MCH) has served southern Bangladesh since 1966. Today it cares for a population of more than 10 million people. Each year the outpatient department treats about 40,000 patients. Some arrive with conditions you would see in any North American clinic, such as diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory infections. Others come with illnesses rarely seen at home, such as tuberculosis, typhoid, parasites, and malnutrition. Many face traumatic injuries, burns, cancers, and complex diagnoses.
In this predominantly Muslim nation, our outpatient department is often a patient’s first encounter with a Christian.
MCH offers specialties in obstetrics, general surgery, orthopedics, and family medicine. Each year the staff performs close to 2,000 surgeries, delivers 1,000 babies, and completes about 500 cesarean sections. Roughly 4,000 patients are admitted annually. The hospital runs full pharmacy, laboratory, x-ray, and physical therapy departments, and its limb and brace center is one of the few places in the country making custom artificial limbs and braces.
Your Impact
Two health clinics and four church plants share Christ’s love within driving distance of the campus. Expatriate and Bangladeshi staff speak truth with patients and their families every day, and good care strengthens the witness of local believers.
Jesus healed the sick and preached the gospel (Matthew 9:35). Compassionate care opens doors to a person’s deepest needs. Will you help carry that hope to Bangladesh?
