Moldova - Medical & Dental Mission (MD0726)

Bring Hope & Healing to Moldova!
Are you ready to make a life-changing impact? Join CERT International on a medical and dental mission to Moldova, Europe’s poorest country, where we will serve both local communities and Ukrainian refugees in desperate need of care and compassion

You don’t have to be a medical or dental professional to make a difference! We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds and ages (8 to 80!!). Whether you’re assisting in clinics, offering compassion, or sharing the love of Christ, your presence matters.

What You’ll Experience:

• Provide free medical and dental care in remote villages with little to no access to healthcare.
• Partner with local churches to strengthen and encourage their growing communities.
• Serve Ukrainian refugees in need of hope and healing.
• Stay comfortably in a local hotel in Chisinau (double occupancy).
• Travel daily to villages, serving from morning to late afternoon.
• Engage in fellowship with teammates and locals as we share faith and service together.

Team members will fly into Chisinau, Moldova’s capital, before traveling daily to rural villages to provide medical and spiritual care where it’s needed most. This mission is a chance to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
