Our Programs

---

 Our group medical missions unite a dedicated team of healthcare heroes—including doctors, advanced practice nurse practitioners, registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, midwives, nurse aides, dentists, and pharmacists—who volunteer their time and skills to bring hope and healing to underserved communities in Africa.

For one to two life-changing weeks, these professionals live, work, and serve together, joining forces with local healthcare providers to operate a free, compassionate medical clinic. It’s more than a mission—it’s a shared journey of humanity, purpose, and deep cultural connection.

During the clinic, residents of the community receive free screenings, treatments, and health education for a wide range of conditions, including malaria and infectious diseases bacterial and viral infections diarrhea, constipation, fever, abscesses, wound care and minor injuries, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and UTIs, prenatal and postpartum care, women’s health support, chronic condition management for hypertension, diabetes, and heart failure.
 

Every consultation is delivered with respect, dignity, and love—restoring lives and uplifting communities, one patient at a time because health is not a luxury—it is a right. Together, we’re answering that call.

We offer transformative, hands-on medical mission placements for healthcare professionals across a wide range of disciplines—including nursing, midwifery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and surgery.

Participants are placed in diverse healthcare settings such as:

• Regional hospitals
• Inner-city clinics
• Community health centers
• Rural clinics
• Mobile outreach programs in remote areas

Whether you’re an emerging nurse eager to learn or a seasoned physician looking to give back, UMA’s medical missions offer a rare opportunity to work shoulder to shoulder with local healthcare providers and see firsthand how care is delivered in resource-limited environments like Togo.

Through this immersive experience, you’ll:

• Deepen your understanding of global health challenges
• Learn innovative ways to provide care with limited resources
• Strengthen your clinical and cross-cultural communication skills
• Make a tangible, lasting impact on vulnerable communities

This isn’t just a placement. It’s a journey of compassion, cultural humility, and professional growth—and a powerful reminder of why you chose medicine in the first place.

Come as a caregiver. Leave as a changemaker.

 With the unwavering support of our donors and volunteers, United Mission to Africa (UMA) is committed to strengthening healthcare systems and improving daily life in underserved communities across Togo and beyond.
