This Year’s Mission
We have set the dates for our 2027 mission, June 16-25, 2027, at Hospital De. Luis “Chicho” Fábrega in Santiago, Panama. June 16 will be a travel day with volunteers arriving in Panama City in the afternoon or evening. June 17 we will travel in the morning to Santiago and spend the rest of the day setting up and in orientation activities with hospital staff. June 18-23 will be regular mission workdays with June 24 being our last day with a half day of hospital work. June 25 will be a group activity day before volunteers start to fly home in the evening. The hospital in Santiago is very spacious with over 300 hospital beds and 8 surgical suits. Both the hospital staff and Ministry of Health officials have warmly embraced us and are looking forward to welcoming us next year!
Our Mission Statement
Med Access International organizes medical humanitarian missions that provide some of the world's most underserved people with everything from general medical and dental care to life-changing surgeries, prosthetics and other specialized services that reflect the expertise of our volunteers.
What We Do
Our volunteers are changing the lives of impoverished people around the world, but our medical humanitarian outreach efforts do much more than make a difference in the lives of the poor.
We find that helping others changes the lives of our volunteers, too, whether it’s re-igniting their interest in medicine or opening their minds and hearts to better appreciate everything we have in life and the positive feelings that come from helping those in need.
NO ADMINISTRATIVE OVERHEAD
We operate solely on a volunteer basis, and our dedicated team members personally cover their own travel expenses. This ensures that every cent of your generous donation is directly allocated towards the purchase of essential medicines and supplies required for each mission.
100,000+
PATIENTS TREATED SINCE 2000
From Latin America to Asia, our organization targets its missions to locations with extremely high levels of poverty where we can make a difference.
$1
makeS a difference
Every dollar donated provides $30 to more than $100 in medical, dental, surgical and prosthetic care each year. The return on investment varies depending on the complexity of the cases we handle on each mission.
10 days
missions dedicated to help others
Our medical missions are generally 10 days in length, allowing volunteers of all ages and fields to come together for a great cause.
MORE THAN A DOZEN MEDICAL SPECIALITIES

This typically encompasses pharmacists, pediatricians, general internal medicine doctors, OBGYNs, dentists, eye doctors, prosthetists, neurologists, urologists, general surgeons, cardiologists, orthopedic surgeons, plastic and maxillofacial surgeons, anesthesiologists, scrub techs, nurses, and interpreters.
