MDF Instruments' Crafting Wellness is proud to donate stethoscopes, sphygmomanometers, reflex hammers and other medical equipment to the Free Burma Rangers for continuous missions. They are making an incredible impact on the lives of people in Burma and surrounding areas, who don't have access to basic life necessities. FBR developed a radical vision on “the idea that no one can stop people from giving love and serving one another.” We are excited to share their journey as we know them to be changing our world one vital sign at a time.

With political uprising in Burma, villagers are being forced by violent attacks and gunshots to abandon their homes, leaving them displaced and seeking shelter in the forest. In July the Rangers traveled to the Karenni State to provide medical care, food and essential supplies to those hiding for their lives. In their field report on July 5th, the Rangers document treating “52 patients, including 10 toddlers, 17 under 18 years old, and 31 adults.” Many of the patients are battling pneumonia and other respiratory infections, caused by the living conditions of camping in the rain and colder weather. Many also suffer from UTI and dysentery (intestinal inflammation) due to the lack of toilet facilities. The FBR Team responded with medical attention and built toilets to support their health.

Floating Doctors Panama 2022

Imagine packing up supplies, flying to another country, hopping in a car to the nearest dock to then venture across waters to then set up a med clinic for a community of whom does not speak the same language you do. This is nothing more than a routine endeavour for the Floating Doctors organization. The journey these missionaries take is indescribable, going through the moody rain and beating sun is everything except a sign to go back, and a motive to move faster.
