About Us
Global Medical Brigades develops sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.

The Patient Referral program promotes sustainability of Global Brigades programs by ensuring that our patients receive necessary care at all times. This program assists with necessary medical care that falls outside the scope of brigades and facilitates the entire process of administering this care. King\'s College was shadowing Dr Michael when they came across Samuel who fell off the top of a coconut tree and snapped his arm in half, which is now healed. He also suffered head injury resulting in him being unconscious for several hours. The doctor said he thinks there has been significant trauma in the brain, as his family claim Samuels personality has changed and he appears to be quite confused. He was a very bright student and top of his school and since his fall, his teachers have observed a significant fall in his grades at school. His speech has also suffered. Please help King\'s College London raise sufficient funds to get Samuel to the hospital for a CT scan and further diagnoses.
