MEDICAL INTERVENTION

Provide emergency medical intervention for a child in need:

The mission of Hope of Life is, and always will be Saving Lives.

At the very center of that mission is our Medical Intervention program (formerly referred to as the “Baby Rescue” program). Having worked closely with more than 327 villages for 37+ years, HOL has a far-reaching local network of healthcare workers and emergency responders who alert us when families experience nutritional crisis. Several times a week, our emergency medical teams travel to remote villages, often hiking the last portion of the journey on foot just to reach these mountain communities. Once the child and parent have been delivered to our Nutritional Recovery Center on campus, children receive treatment at no cost to their families.

Meet the Twins

Brothers Fidel and Orlando came to us at extreme risk of death by malnutrition. Discovered at just two days old, the twins were in critical condition, weighing less than 2 kg each. Our emergency medical team sprang to action to save these two little lives. After nine months, these tiny warriors are healthy and thriving!
