Nebobongo Hospital is a Christian run hospital that is under the authority of the regional church, CECCA-16 in the northeast corner of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Nebobongo Evangelical Hospital, for all of its resource challenges, remains the best-equipped and staffed hospital in an area serving over 260,000 people in one of the poorest regions of one of the poorest countries on earth. The fact that they have doctors and medicine in their pharmacy puts them on a level above the majority of hospitals in the area.
The medical debt forgiveness program allows Nebobongo Hospital to treat all patients whether or not they can afford to pay for their care. Many hospitals in Congo have prisons where they will keep patients after they are discharged until their family can pay their bill to release them. Our partner program allows people to receive care at a hospital that shares the love of Jesus, grace and forgiveness through debt relief. People who need medical care don't have to choose between treatment and freedom to receive care.
