About This Cause
World Health Ambassador (WHA) is an international medical relief group providing free health care services to underserved communities around the world that do not otherwise have access to the medical support they need. WHA sends teams where needs exist, including responding to those suffering from the effects of environmental disasters. WHA became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2007 and now has more than 700 members in the US and around the world, including the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Egypt, India, the Philippines, Vietnam, Australia and Canada. World Health Ambassador Mission Teams are comprised of medical practitioners and specialists, general dentists and dental specialists, nurses, pharmacists, technicians and support staff. WHA has proven its flexibility and ability to adapt through its many missions, offering care in a variety of settings including regional medical centers, provincial hospitals and village clinics. WHA partners with regional and local health care providers, utilizing area resources to ensure continuity and sustainability of care, as well as to control follow-up costs for patients. WHA also seeks to work with other non-profit organizations in the United States and abroad by offering its expertise and to strengthen its own capabilities as well as those of all involved. To ensure durable and lasting benefits, WHA is committed to building the capability of local health care providers and the capacity of local health care services. To this end, WHA mission teams: (a) work side-by-side with local health care providers to build local chapters and to actively share medical knowledge and teach new techniques; (b) conduct medical and dental lectures at local medical schools and schools of health sciences; (c) donate medical equipment to local health care institutions and train local medical staff to use the equipment. Our integrated approach helps ensure maximum benefits and sustainability of health care delivery to the targeted population.
