Order of Malta volunteer doctors provide free care to people in need.
Volunteer doctors working with the Order of Malta’s Embassy in Antigua and Barbuda visit the homes of the elderly, the sick, and those in need. Most of these people do not leave their homes and cannot afford medical care. Volunteer doctors visit those in need in their homes and conduct basic medical examinations. They prescribe necessary medications, which are purchased at the expense of the Order of Malta’s embassy. For most of these people, the assistance provided by the Order of Malta’s volunteer doctors is their only access to medical care. In addition, the volunteers provide warm, high-calorie meals to those in need.

Thanks to the acquisition of a professional minibus, our aid reaches every part of the island.
People in need are scattered across the island. Due to illness, most of these people do not leave their homes, so our volunteers have to deliver meals to their homes. A professional minibus is very useful, as it enables our volunteers to travel across the whole island. The distribution of meals is also combined with brief meetings and conversations between our volunteers and those in need. For the first time in a long while, smiles have begun to appear on the faces of those in need.

Help for Benjamin, a blind man living in extreme poverty.
One of the people cared for by our Order of Malta volunteers is blind. He is a wonderful man named Benjamin. Unfortunately, due to illness and extreme poverty, he was living in conditions that were an affront to human dignity. A symbol of these dire conditions was the lack of a back door to his home and a floor that was completely destroyed and collapsing. Thanks to financial support from the Embassy of the Order of Malta and the work of our volunteers, we were able to repair the most damaged parts of his home, clean it up, and improve his living conditions. We thank all the volunteers of the Order of Malta for their commitment to helping Benjamin.
