Code of Conduct

Medical Mercy's code of conduct for all team members is based on the Mission Statement, the Statement of Faith, as well as a respectful consideration for the many cultural, political, and religious differences in the countries in which we serve.

Though we do not limit team membership by an individual’s beliefs, we do require each team member's conduct to be in accord with the spirit of servanthood. This servant role is based on attitude and actions. The attitude of each member is to place the needs of others first regardless of personal comforts, desires, and habits. Next, the actions of each member is to be conducive to the work already in progress by the local church, pastors, missionaries, and the professional and trained healthcare providers in the designated country.
