Developed to help those interested in expanding or starting an international outreach initiative, this booklet and accompanying online resources offer sage advice gleaned from Catholic health care organizations as well as the World Health Organization and Catholic Relief Services on topics including volunteering, medical surplus recovery, the theological call for conducting this work, medical mission team and much more.
