The Catholic Medical Mission Board’s (CMMB) inception dates to 1912 and the dream of Dr. Paluel Joseph Flagg, a young anesthesiology resident on the staff of St. Vincent’s Hospital in New York City.
We are an international, faith-based NGO providing long-term, co-operative, medical and development aid to communities affected by poverty and unequal access to healthcare.
For over a century, we have worked to strengthen and support communities through healthcare programs and initiatives, the distribution of medicines and medical supplies, and the placement of volunteers.
As part of our new global strategic platform, we are focusing on women’s and children’s health. With partners, we are delivering sustainable health services in targeted communities within Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
For more than 100 years, firm in our Catholic faith, we’ve been working to deliver the best possible health solutions to women and children in need with dignity, respect, and love.
We’re taking on today’s healthcare challenges, but we can’t do it alone. We partner with organizations that share our vision including foundations, corporations, and organizations across all sectors.
You can trust us to efficiently manage donations and consistently adhere to good governance practices. Charity ratings agencies acknowledge our excellent accountability and transparency every year.
