Exceptional growth
Over the last 8 years, the success of Global Medic Force’s approach has been proven globally with more than 42 nations now requesting Global Medic Force clinical mentors as a result.
Developing world Global Medic Force programme partnership
Global Medic Force deployments are conditional on any given developing nation requesting clinical mentors, in addition to demonstrating a willingness to join Global Medic Force in breaking their dependency on Western charity.
Global Medic Force programmes
Global Medic Force achieves this by requiring that the recipient developing nation covers their share of the “in country” programme costs associated with deploying Global Medic Force clinical mentors, including transport and accommodation.
This gives the programme a proprietary and highly valued status from their view.
Matched co-investment funding model
From a Western donor point-of-view, this means that for every “dollar” donated to Global Medic Force from western sources, an additional “three dollars” are released through the in-kind value of the volunteer experts, plus the cash contribution by the recipient developing nation (clinic or hospital).
What this means
In developing world terms this process gives ownership, partnership, pride and self-respect. It is the first real step to creating an optimal national healthcare system from their own resources, one in which they are in charge.
The results
The fact that so many developing world nations are clearly willing to pay their share from their own scarce resources proves the catalytic impact of Global Medic Force’s programmes globally.
