| | + | Medical camps, a major aspect of GFA World’s medical ministry, bring skilled doctors, medical staff, medication and health training to areas where people rarely have the chance to see a doctor. These camps may be organized in Bridge of Hope centers, remote villages, crowded slums—any place there is need and opportunity. One camp typically serves anywhere from 200 to 1,000 children and adults. Local medical personnel are invited to serve at the camp, providing free pediatric and general health care, and eye checkups.<ref>The Need for Medical Ministry. https://www.gfa.org/compassion-services/medical-ministry/</ref> In 2019, 1,267 medical camps were conducted in remote or needy communities.<ref>2019 A Year In Review. https://www.gfa.org/special-report/2019/</ref> |
