Hope Medical Clinic

Priority Project – 4-47407-43-42

Guinea, West Africa

children in dental education class Hope Clinic is a dental/medical clinic in Guinea, West Africa, operated by CAMA Services Guinea. The clinic ministers God’s love to the people of Guinea by meeting their medical and dental needs while giving a verbal witness of the Gospel. They work in conjunction with Guinea Medical Teams, providing care to the Mano and Malinke tribal groups of Guinea through short-term outreaches since 1993. Currently four CAMA families minister at the clinic.

In Guinea, the average life expectancy is under 50 years. Major infectious diseases (hepatitis A, typhoid, malaria, yellow fever and tuberculosis) combine with parasitic diseases, dehydration and HIV/AIDS to rob millions of longer life.

In 2008, Hope Clinic saw more than 18,000 patients and 600 professions of faith. The clinic’s current electrical system uses both solar energy and a generator for back-up. But, with recently added new equipment, an updated system is needed to provide reliable power. For more information on Hope Clinic, visit their Web Site at www.hopeguinea.org.
