Christian Medical Center Transcarpathia
Munkacs, Ukraine
Since 1997, the Christian Medical Center of Transcarpathia has become a well-known health service facility in western Ukraine. People come from as far as 200 kilometers away for its medical services.
The ministry’s main medical component is its primary medical campus in Munkacs, along with a satellite clinic in Vilok. In addition to general consultations, the facility has 12 specialty service areas, such as CT, laboratory and ultrasounds.
“The Luke Society philosophy does not use certain programs or projects on the mission fields,” said ministry director Dr. Pal Oroszi. “The Luke Society gives freedom for the indigenous ministry directors to realize their vision, serving their people in need and sharing the Gospel.”
The ministry provides community health in two gypsy communities, and together with a local church, runs a developing center for children with physical and mental disorders, along with their families.
The ministry promotes evangelism among clinic patients, communities, staff and those working in other medical institutions in the region.
