AMCAN Canada organizes and participates in medical mission trips domestically and internationally — bringing free, expert healthcare to communities who need it most, carried out in the spirit of Christ’s healing ministry.
AMCAN Canada’s medical missions program sends teams of volunteer Coptic healthcare professionals to serve underserved communities — both within Canada and internationally. We join the wider CMANA North America network on coordinated mission trips, while also pursuing opportunities specific to Canada’s membership. Every trip is planned with care and executed with clinical excellence, anchored in the conviction that caring for the sick is one of the most sacred things a person can do.
On each trip, our volunteer teams set up clinics — often in churches, community centres, or field settings — and provide free medical services to patients who would otherwise go without care. Services vary by team composition but typically include primary care consultations, surgical procedures, dental care, pharmaceutical dispensing, and specialty care where available.
Every mission includes a spiritual dimension — morning prayers, fellowship, and the understanding that what we are doing is not merely medical work, but ministry.
CMANA Canada currently organizes mission trips to Cameroon and Haiti, with Gabon coming soon. Beyond these Canada-organized trips, CMANA Canada members are also welcome to join any mission trip run by CMANA USA — giving our members access to the full breadth of the CMANA North America network.
New destinations are added regularly as the CMANA network grows.
AMCAN Canada’s flagship mission destination. Our teams serve underserved communities in Cameroon in collaboration with the Coptic Mission Church on the ground — bringing free clinical care including primary care, surgical services, dental care, and pharmaceutical support to patients with little or no access to healthcare.
One of the most medically underserved countries in the Western Hemisphere. CMANA Canada teams provide free clinical services to communities with extremely limited access to care — including primary consultations, surgical care, dental services, and medications.
CMANA Canada is expanding to Gabon — a new destination currently in preparation. We are establishing partnerships with local churches and health organizations on the ground. Stay connected for updates and registration details as this trip takes shape.
An exploratory mission to Abidjan is scheduled for the final week of September 2026. This high-level delegation, composed of six specialized physicians, aims to establish a sustainable framework for medical cooperation in Côte d’Ivoire. This initiative is being coordinated in close partnership with the Ivorian Minister of Health, with the active diplomatic support of the Canadian, American, and Egyptian Embassies to ensure a successful and impactful first mission.
As part of the wider CMANA North America network, AMCAN Canada members are welcome to register for and join any mission trip organized by CMANA USA. This gives our members access to a much larger calendar of trips and a broader range of destinations across Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas — serving alongside Coptic healthcare professionals from across the continent.
Note: When joining a CMANA USA–organized trip, CMANA USA pricing applies. See cmanamerica.org for the full CMANA USA missions calendar and trip registration.
