Under its original name (Medical Assistance Programs), this Christian organization began serving in 1954. Quoting them, MAP is "one of the world's largest providers of medicines and supplies to mission hospitals, clinics, refugee centers and physicians serving the health needs of the world's poorest communities." In February 2005, MAP "surpassed the two billion mark in distributing donated or especially-purchased medical supplies" throughout the world. Medical professionals preparing for short-term trips can order special medical kits that MAP provides at a much lower cost than normally is available. |
