2024 Medical Missions Trip: Bangladesh

Grand Point Church desires to take a medical missions team to Bangladesh, under the leadership of Cressa Coldsmith, Executive Director of Advancement in November 2024. The dates are November 10th-November 21st.

Where We’ll Serve
Bogra Hospital and Khanjanpur Health & Eye Clinic treat over 120,000 patients each year. A nursing program at Bogra equips nurses to work in medical facilities throughout the country. Health education classes are taught in the districts on such topics as hygiene & sanitation, clean drinking water, and disease prevention. Khanjanpur Health clinic holds many remote medical and eye camps to benefit the underprivileged. Through these camps, other basic needs are often provided during follow-up visits to help improve the lives of those in the communities.

What We’ll Do
This trip will be focused on providing consultations with medical professional in Bangladesh as they treat patients, with the primary area being in optometry, while also assisting with some OB/GYN, newborn care, peds and general medicine as we are able. We will be set up in remote village camps during the day and will stay at a mission house in Khanjanpur for the majority of the trip. We will also spend a day or two in the hospital in Bogra providing some primary care, as we work directly alongside of the Bangladesh medical team.

Who Will Go
We will be taking a small team, a total of 10 and will select the team based on experience, skills, and travel documents needed. While we would love to take everyone who is interested, for this first time it will be very limited. If all goes well, we hope to do it again! The estimated cost for the trip per person will be between $2,000-$3,000, with the flight costs being they main determining factor.
