Medical Projects Responsive image

KMI seeks to use both local and international partnerships to help provide quality healthcare for the people groups with whom they are called to help. Such services include, but are not limited to: local medical clinics, necessary surgeries, vision care, and local health services. KMI operates medically via a legal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Kween District Local Government, and works under the supervision of Ugandan physician Dr. Isaac Mubezi, founder of Something Deeper Ministries

Medical Clinics

Since 2011 KMI has led ten (10) medical clinics in Uganda for the Sabini Tribe, has participated in two (2) medical clinics in Tanzania for the Maasai Tribe, and helped with one (1) medical clinic in South Sudan for the Murle Tribe. KMI clinics consist of licensed medical practitioners---Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Physician’s Assistants, and Health Instructors---who diagnose, prescribe, and treat dozens of people each day.

KMI practitioners use modern medical methods, and always work within the medical guidelines of the country where they practice.

KMI provides the needed medications for the clinics. Medications are purchased within the country being served. Each yearly clinic lasts for five (5) days, and operates cooperatively within the structure set up by the local leaders of the people being served.

KMI also served on a 2-week floating medical clinic, helping remote islanders in the Fiji Islands.

Surgeries

From time to time medical patients with severe needs are brought to the medical clinics. Maladies such as heart defects, hydrocephalus, breast cancer, spina-bifida, club feet, hernias, and burn scarring have arisen. It is the heart of KMI to obtain treatment for those individuals.

After having gone through the appropriate follow-up and referral procedures, the patients are taken to local specialist hospitals where they are provided with the necessary life changing surgery that they need. KMI covers all expenses for both the surgeries and for the necessary follow-up care after the surgeries.

Whether these patients are 1 day old, or 100 years old, they deserve the best medical care available, and KMI works with the local pastors to make certain that these “little ones” are cared for properly and respectfully.

 

Vision Care

Vision care comes in the four different forms: children’s vision testing, adult vision testing, sunglasses provision, and referred medical care. All children who attend the clinics are tested for vision via the Snellen or a similar eye chart. Those who have vision of 20/40 or greater are referred to the Benedictine Eye Hospital (BEH) for follow-up and possibly for glasses.

All adults are offered the option of vision testing, and if needed, reading glasses are provided for the patients on the spot. In the case of cataracts or other eye injuries, the patients are referred to BEH, and if surgery is required, KMI pays for the surgery and the follow-up after the surgery.

 

Health Services

Most health services are provided within the local schools. De-worming of all students is a bi-yearly practice. KMI works with other agencies to ensure that this happens.

Tooth brushes, toothpaste, and other toiletries are often provided for school children and pre-school children as well.
