Partnerships in the Developing World
EMAS Canada builds long-term relationships with local organizations in the developing world who are in agreement with our statement of faith. EMAS Canada seeks to build up and nurture locally-initiated programs by providing healthcare services, equipment, supplies and continuing education. Many of our teams focus on equipping local healthcare professionals who will serve the community year-round. Program sustainability is our goal.
In particular, EMAS Canada partners with healthcare-related programs in which there is both a clinical and spiritual component.
