Mobile clinic opens doors in Tanzania
CMF’s Tanzania team is working to put “hands and feet” to the Gospel and bring about whole life transformation for the people they serve. Their new mobile medical clinic is one project they are using to effectively meet this goal, according to a recent report from Scott and Annelle Price.
The people living in the Maasai area of Matale had not received immunizations for 10 years. So in February, the CMF team collaborated with the government clinic to offer mobile medical clinics to the people in their villages. As of September, 3,660 children have received important immunizations, 54 women have received prenatal care, 290 children have been treated for eye infections and 447 have attended health education classes.
The Maasai church planters of Matale participate in the clinics so they can reinforce the health education presented in the clinics; as a result, doors are opening for the Gospel. One new area in which immunizations were offered has even requested the CMF team to help start a church. The team is considering how and when they can do this.
