The City of Hope
Medical Center

• Is local government solicited and encouraged.

• Will provide healthcare where there currently is none.
  

• Will be staffed with government provided trained medical personnel
  

• Medical mission teams will periodically come to provide specialized services that are otherwise unavailable.

• The Birthing center will reduce infant mortality and maternal death due to complications in childbirth.

• Reduce the devastation and premature death due to treatable waterborne diseases and malaria
  .
• Provide HIV treatment and AIDS related illnesses as well as provide AIDS education and counseling by trained professionals.
  

• The local leadership has estimated that when the clinic opens in February 2009, a thousand people per day seeking healthcare will instantly visit it.
