Come Tour the Ebola Treatment Center at M32020
M3 is pleased to announce that Samaritan’s Purse – World Medical Mission will be back again as exhibitors! They will host 4 booths representing their Children’s Heart Project, Disaster Assistance Response Team (DART), Post-Residency Program, and their overall Short-Term and Long-Term mission opportunities.
Another exciting addition is their Ebola Treatment Center that will be set-up and available for conference-goers to tour. Samaritan’s Purse has continued to be on the front-lines helping bring relief and aid to victims of disasters, disease outbreaks, and other humanitarian crises.
The 2014-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa was the largest on record. More than 11,300 people died as Ebola spread throughout Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone. Their work in Liberia—where Samaritan’s Purse has had a country office for 14 years—included providing clinical care, as well as campaigns focused on awareness and prevention.
The Democratic Republic of the Congo is grappling with the world’s second-largest Ebola epidemic on record, with more than 2200 lives lost and 3300 confirmed infections since the outbreak was declared on 1 August 2018.
Samaritan’s Purse stands ready to respond at a moment’s notice whenever and wherever disaster strikes. So in January 2019 Samaritan’s Purse opened a treatment center in the northeast Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in response to an Ebola virus disease outbreak. They specialize in meeting critical needs for victims of conflict, disaster, famine, and epidemics throughout the world, often working through ministry partners on the ground. They provide food, water, shelter, medicine, and other assistance in the Name of Jesus Christ.
From the outside, the Samaritan’s Purse ETC looks very similar to the mobile hospitals used by other organizations. What sets it apart, however, is that the medical work that goes on inside is about both physical and spiritual healing. Medical personnel and non-medical staff minister to patients, pray with them and share the hope of the Gospel in the midst of the disaster.
Please pray for people suffering in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Pray for Samaritan’s Purse staff as they serve with compassion in Jesus’ Name. This website shows current DRC Ebola stats. We encourage you to visit the mobile treatment center during M3 to learn how you can join Samaritan’s Purse DART teams.

“Several years ago I was working at a small mission hospital on the banks of the Zambezi River in far western Zambia. Late one cold Winter night we were in the theatre doing an emergency surgery when there was a knock on the theatre door. “
