EHA NEWS  

Emmanuel Hospital Association

One of the critical issues in the world today is meeting the growing need for quality medical care among the poor. The Emmanuel Hospital Association of India helps to address this need.


Launched out of a group of western-run mission hospitals in the late 1960s, today EHA is the largest private healthcare network in India . Through a system of 21 hospitals and more than 30 community health and development projects, located in underserved areas of rural North India, EHA helps to bring health and medical care to more than 600,000 Indians per year, the vast majority from among the poorest classes of society.

Many of those served have no access to such medical care other than through  EHA facilities. In a country where 1 in 4 families live below the poverty line the needs are tremendous. In fact, they are beyond description.

Doctors
EHA has a critical need for short term assistance to support the work of Indian physicians.  At times the case load exceeds the capacity of their surgeons.  More often, vacations must be curtailed because when the surgeon is away services must be cut back.  New Family Practice Residency programs need experienced FP instructors . If you are interested in finding out about short term (two weeks to four weeks) or longer term ministry opportunities in India , please contact the EHA office.

Nurses
Opportunities exist for nurses with BSN/MSN and teaching experience to assist in EHA's nurses' training programs.  These openings for service would last from one month to one year, or more.  Certain challenges exist due to language barriers but trained professionals willing to serve should contact EHA. 
back


Volunteers
EHA in the United States is a grass roots effort with no paid staff.  We are in need of volunteers who catch a passion for the ministry and are willing to represent us in local churches in their area.  Materials such as brochures and Power Point presentations are available to assist your efforts.  If supporting EHA in this way is attractive to you, do not hesitate to contact us to learn more.

Donors
Ongoing support needs in a wide variety of areas exist.  90 cents of every dollar raised in the United States goes to help the Indian hospitals serve more patients, many of whom would never have access to medical care in other ways.  For detailed information on projects and locations, please do not hesitate to contact us.  We are also happy to supply copies of audited financial statements for your review.

Our goal for the work in India is simple: build awareness, prayer and financial support for EHA, enabling their staff to more effectively address the health related needs of Indian villagers, and in that process, earn the opportunity to share the good news of eternal healing.
