“And Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.” (Matthew 4:23)

The Eku Baptist Hospital since 1945 has extended medical and spiritual help to the Delta part of Nigeria. This area has many medical needs that provide doorways of opportunity for trained medical professionals to volunteer their support, knowledge, and talents. This includes primary care doctors, dentists, surgeons, and specialists in major areas of trauma, eyes, orthopedics, internal, and pediatrics. There are also opportunities for others that are skilled in nursing training, medical tech training, structural upgrade, facility repair, and electrical, electronic/computer, and equipment technical training. We continue to facilitate teams of volunteers that present Jesus Christ’s love and compassion through medical care and other outreaches. Professional abilities to show, tell, and do current medical procedures and upgrades are especially appreciated by the young staff and learning doctors and nurses. It is a good place also for medical students to gain firsthand experience in a general tropical hospital setting, working with leprosy, treating multiple trauma situations, engaging in interesting cases of obstetrics, maternity, pediatrics, and women specialties which provide excellent experience for their future.
