Mercy International Mission is a non-profit based in Minnesota, which operates a medical mission in Osi-Ekiti, Nigeria.
Every year Mercy International Mission travels to Nigeria to provide medical care through our Annual Medical Mission.
We will be working in Osi-Ekiti, at our clinic, and travelling with our Mobile Clinic Vans to surrounding villages. We will provide basic medical care services to people who otherwise do not have access to medical care.
We also are able to provide basic opthamology, eyeglasses, dental services and some routine surgical work.
Beyond medical care we will also be providing counseling services, as well as faith-based services.
Volunteers do not need a medical background, but it is a great benefit! The mission will be in October. Room and board will be provided, however volunteers are responsible for the travel costs of travelling to Nigeria.
