I am seeking to build this section. I would love to get feedback from other medical teams that have gone. I have only taken medical personnel with me twice. What we have learned so far is that it is best if our medical people work along side Ugandan healthcare givers, helping them improve their knowledge and skills. You may wish to read up on tropical diseases.

I have never had a dentist go with my teams but I have talked with dentists who have gone with others and for the most part, they simply do extractions.

If you are going to be part of a medical team, I highly recommend you find someone who had done medical ministry in a third world setting and learn what you can from them.

A list of some basic health and hygiene information can be found in my benevolence ministry section.

There is a good article on the Christianity Today website on the history of Medical Ministry in Africa
