Could you give a few weeks or months to care for patients who have almost no access to skilled nursing? At Memorial Christian Hospital in Bangladesh, short-term nurses lead, teach, and serve alongside a dedicated local team, and meet a critical need.
The Opportunity
You would work directly with other nurses and doctors at our hospital. Foreign nurses serve mainly in leadership and training roles, while most direct patient care is given by Bangladeshi nursing staff. We are looking for nurses with at least two years of clinical experience who are flexible, eager to learn, and ready to serve. You would build real relationships with the team and the people of Bangladesh.
Minimum of two years of clinical experience.
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, and each year the staff performs close to 2,000 surgeries, delivers 1,000 babies, and completes about 500 cesarean sections.
Your Impact
Two health clinics and four church plants share Christ’s love within driving distance of the hospital campus. Expatriate and Bangladeshi staff speak truth with patients and their families, and compassionate care strengthens the witness of local believers.
Jesus healed the sick and preached the gospel (Matthew 9:35). Good care opens doors to a person’s deepest needs. Will you help carry that hope to Bangladesh?
