The Benefits Creating Volunteering Opportunities AMFA creates opportunities for our kind doctors to reach the needy people they intend to help. Medical students participating in AMFA would gain practical experience in medicine. This unique opportunity allows volunteers to experience how other people live and to learn more about their cultures as they provide them with needed medical care.

Why American Medicine For All? America is well known as a super power. But its philanthropic actions toward poor nations especially in the medical care is invisible. Presently, hundreds of American doctors actively participate in international organizations such as Doctors Without Borders. But this organization was created in France and the recipients of its services around the world look at it as a French or European organization. The international organizations receive big support from our community, but America remains invisible and does not receive the equal thanks and respect it deserves.

AMFA is the RIGHT RESPONSE at the RIGHT TIME AMFA will put an American label on the generous efforts our troops of mercy and compassion make to save lives of children, mothers, elderly men and women and draw smiles on the faces of tens of thousands of people around the world.
