A team of EVMS students, faculty and staff led by Alexandra Leader, MD, MPH, Director of Global Health at EVMS, recently traveled to Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, to learn and serve in the world’s largest refugee camp. The team’s medical mission trip was coordinated through MedGlobal, a non-governmental organization, or NGO, founded in 2017 to provide sustainable healthcare services to refugees around the world. For the last two-plus years, MedGlobal, in conjunction with the Bangladesh nonprofit OBAT Helpers, has deployed short-term medical missions to the Camp 4 clinic in the Kutupalong camp, treating about 2,000 Rohingya adults and children every week.
