Who We Are

Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB) is the leading U.S.-based Catholic charity focused exclusively on global healthcare.

Beginning in 1912, we have been working to help heal and save lives throughout the world through the distribution of medicines and medical supplies, placement of volunteer medical professionals and running our own healthcare programs and initiatives. CMMB programs and initiatives concentrate on making healthcare available to all, and particularly on the well-being of women and children in the developing world.

We respond to the AIDS epidemic, provide primary healthcare in Latin America and the Caribbean, and run programs to address Neglected Tropical Diseases.

We are helping to build a world where quality healthcare is available to all.
