Bridge to the Nations® outreach projects in China serve rural underserved Chinese communities. Our teams have assisted with crop restoration, provided care for needy children and have provided direct medical, surgical and dental care for over 100,000 people (including those affected by earthquakes and floods in Central China).
THE GANSU PROVINCE
The Gansu Province is located in the NW Central region of China, and is one of the poorest areas in China. Its rugged, barren terrain consists mostly of mountains and deserts, but it has played an important role in Chinese history.
MEDICAL & DENTAL PROJECTS
BTTN's medical projects focus on treating the medical needs of the residents of rural villages and those who have suffered from natural disasters. Depending upon the medical staff available for each project, we offer primary medical care, dentistry, general surgery and physiotherapy. Direct health education is furnished to educate patients on handling a variety of conditions within the means of their own culture, including hypertension, diabetes, gastrointestinal problems, joint/muscle pain and female problems, and our medical staff helps to train local physicians and dental workers, so each may learn from the other and improve the standards of health care.
