BMPC Liaison: Carl Giombetti

Mission:
Miraj Medical Center was founded over 110 years ago by William Wanless who was sent from BMPC as a missionary and remains BMPC’s longest standing partner in mission. BMPC has supported medical mission at Miraj both financially and with volunteer physicians and medical consultants for over one hundred years. Miraj Medical Center is the only fully comprehensive health care entity within a 150 mile radius and thus serves an important role for the community in which it is based. The hospital has grown to house 550 beds and 93 buildings on a 42 acre campus. Services are provided irrespective of race, caste, creed, or ability to pay. Miraj Medical center is affiliated with the Church of North India and is supported in part by the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Volunteer Opportunities:
Short-term specialists from abroad can be of great assistance. Your role as a volunteer would primarily be that of working with a counterpart on the Miraj staff, sharing new techniques and insights. This helps to strengthen the capabilities of the individuals or departments with whom you will work. In turn you would learn much about the challenges of health care in a developing country and about the people and culture of India.
