CURRENT PROJECTS  

        As you aware, the last two years of natural disasters in DPRK has led to an acute shortage of food, housing and clothing so we have shifted our attention to the urgent needs of life-threatening situations. We have sent $40,000 worth of corn, $150,000 worth of pharmaceutical supplies, 500 hospital beds, 1,000 blankets and sheets, and 10,000 doses of Hepatitis vaccine. Recently we sent brand-new medical textbooks of different specialties, journals and reference books worth $12,000 to The Third People's Hospital in Pyongyang.

       We are presently organizing medical mission teams that will travel to the Third People's Hospital and treat patients in Pyongyang on rotational basis with 3-4 month intervals. We planned to focus on conditions of many children (approximately 80,000) who are near death by starvation and give Total Parenteral Nutrition (TPN) by intravenous route. Support from Non Governmental Organizations (World Medical Relief, Americare, etc.) and donations from concerned fellow Christians will give us chances to bring medical needs to our brethren in the DPRK.

        We also plan to have medical conferences for both CAMM members and physicians from the DPRK to exchange ideas, medical experiences and future plans for the Third People's Hospital. Short term or long-term training of hospital staff from different parts of North Korea at Teaching Hospitals in the United States of America is also contemplated.
