Our medical camps need your hands

EDYAC carries out medical camps in Eastern Uganda and beyond, where a team of doctors reviews every client. Two to three weeks later, surgical camps treat the cases the medical camps could not — and the Healing House nurses children through recovery. Clinicians make every step possible.
