Why Medical Care

Half the world still goes without basic health care.

people go without basic care

In the places we work, the nearest clinic can be hours of rough road away. Sometimes there isn't one at all. War, displacement and poverty have left millions with no doctor to see, no medicine they can afford, and nowhere safe to give birth. An illness you'd shrug off in Canada can kill a child where no one is there to treat it.

We work alongside local doctors, nurses and midwives. Together we keep clinics stocked and open, send mobile health camps out to remote villages and displacement camps, and pay for the surgeries and maternal care that families could never cover on their own.

Care close to home is care that arrives in time. An infection treated. A baby born safely. A child immunised. None of it makes the news, but for that one family it changes everything.

“Whoever saves one life, it is as if they have saved all of humanity.”
A shared principle of mercy

How it works

From the first symptom to a full recovery.

Handing out medicine isn't the whole job. Our four steps bring care to people and make sure it stays.

  1. Step 01

    Reach

    Mobile teams head out to remote villages and displacement camps where there is no clinic.

  2. Step 02

    Diagnose

    Local doctors and nurses examine, test, and work out what each patient really needs.

  3. Step 03

    Treat

    Patients get medicine, maternal care or surgery, and the family pays nothing.

  4. Step 04

    Sustain

    We keep clinics stocked and staff trained so care carries on long after we leave.

Common Questions

Questions we hear a lot.

Who actually provides the medical care?
The care comes from qualified local doctors, nurses and midwives who know the community and speak the language. Going through trusted local teams makes treatment faster, more appropriate, and easier to keep going.
What happens if a case is too serious for a clinic?
Camps and clinics handle most of what comes through the door. When a case is more complex, our teams refer the patient on and, where the funding allows, help cover transport and treatment at a partner hospital.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. CBB Canada is a registered Canadian charity and issues official tax receipts for eligible donations made in Canada.
Can I give in memory of a loved one?
Of course. Funding medical care is a lasting way to honour someone. Just add a dedication at checkout and we'll include it in your impact report.
