MEDLIFE
is
a
secular,
volunteer-run
global
health
organization
whose
mission
is
to
help
families
achieve
greater
freedom
from
the
constraints
of
poverty,
empowering
them
to
live
healthier
lives.
Our
patients
did
not
choose
to
be
poor,
but
they
do
choose
to
strive
for
a
better
life.
MEDLIFE
stands
beside
them
in
this
pursuit.
We
seek
to
achieve
this
goal
through
partnering
with
motivated
individuals
from
communities
experiencing
poverty
and
working
to
improve
their
access
to
MEDs:
Medicine,
Education
and
community
Development.
MEDLIFE
believes
access
to
quality
healthcare,
education
and
personal
development
are
basic
human
rights.
To
this
end,
we
commit
all
our
resources
to
bring
Medicine,
Education
and
Development
to
Low
Income
Families
Everywhere.
Along
with
affiliate
chapters,

of
inequality
in
global
healthcare,

goals
and
