Healthcare Forum

Providing news, resources and information for those involved in mission healthcare

The Healthcare Forum is a largely virtual forum for all those interested in healthcare or medical work as an expression of Christian mission. We have recently been re-examining why and how people are involved in healthcare as mission, looking towards the future of healthcare mission.

The main role now is to send out the e-bulletin Healthcare Forum News three times per year. This has news and information from within the GC healthcare network, including forthcoming events, information about resource organisations, others resources, news and more. This has become an invaluable information service for those in the network. We also hold Healthcare Forum events very occasionally.

We are linked into the Integral Mission Forum and have recently run an event of the Sustainable Development Goals as they relate to health care issues.

The interest group is facilitated by Steve Fouch (CMF) and administered by Global Connections.
