The majority of the civilians that MSOM have come into contact with, have never seen a doctor or had any form of healthcare.Our focus is on highlighting the importance of healthcare; whereby the small preventive measures that an individual puts into action could potentially save a whole livelihood.Our aim is to provide medical and humanitarian relief. By setting up and funding medical outreach programmes, we can reach out to those who can't be reached!
