His daughter was gravely ill with Ebola. He was worried about her doctor, too. After hearing devastating news about his daughter, a Congolese father told Dr. Jon Fielder why he had been asking about him. He had heard that a staff member had contracted Ebola.

“When we didn’t see you, I was worried it was you.” Jon writes: “I stood, overwhelmed, unable to respond.”

On October 24 at Noon ET, hear Jon’s firsthand account of caring for Ebola patients and the families he came to know in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

What is it actually like to care for someone with Ebola?

I’m Dr. Jon Fielder. This summer, I spent nearly a month in an Ebola treatment ward in the Congo. On October 24th, I’ll share stories from that experience: the patients, their families and the remarkable people I worked alongside. Join African Mission Healthcare for Face to Face with Ebola.

AMH was thrilled to participate this week in the groundbreaking of the expanded AIC Kijabe Naivasha Medical Center in Kenya. Dr. Jon Fielder, AMH CEO, has been involved with the clinic from the beginning.

AMH and Kijabe are now starting construction of a new 60-bed inpatient facility with three operating rooms to meet the needs of this growing region. In addition to patient care, the new center will host dozens of trainees at a time, including nurses, physician assistants, and residents.

When Dr. Tom Catena first arrived in the Nuba Mountains, his focus was on providing medical care to people who had little access to it.

But over the years, Mother of Mercy Referral Teaching Hospital has grown into something he never imagined.

When asked what the hospital can do today that he never thought would be possible when he first arrived, Dr. Tom shared:

“I never envisioned that we’d be training Clinical Officers and Midwives.”

Today, MMRTH is not only caring for patients but also training Sudanese healthcare workers who are helping meet the medical needs of their own communities.

For Dr. Tom, the hospital's growth is about more than the care it can provide today. It's about building a future where more people in the Nuba Mountains have access to skilled, locally trained healthcare professionals.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is also an opportunity to look at the health systems patients depend on after a cancer diagnosis.

For more than 15 years, AMH has partnered with Mbingo Baptist Hospital in Cameroon, home to one of the region’s few comprehensive cancer centers. Its multidisciplinary approach brings together oncology, surgery, pathology, radiology, pharmacy, palliative care, nutrition, and other essential services under one system of care.

Today, AMH and Samaritan’s Purse are helping strengthen that capacity even further. Alongside infrastructure development, AMH-sponsored oncology fellowships in India and Uganda are preparing specialists to help staff Mbingo’s new radiotherapy bunker and expand access to cancer treatment for patients across the region.

He was treating Ebola. Then his own temperature began to rise.

During nearly a month caring for Ebola patients in the Congo, Dr. Jon Fielder had a frightening half hour when he wondered whether the risk had caught up with him.

His temperature normalized, and the symptoms were attributed to chlorine exposure. But that moment is part of a much larger account of caring for patients inside an Ebola treatment ward.

On October 24 at Noon ET, join African Mission Healthcare for Face to Face with Ebola: a doctor’s firsthand account from the Congo.

One of the most important parts of cancer care happens before a patient ever reaches the oncology ward: recognizing the signs early enough to act.

Through AMH-supported cancer awareness and continuing medical education, healthcare workers across four Cameroon Baptist Convention facilities have strengthened their ability to recognize warning signs, identify potential cancers earlier, and refer patients to specialized care at Mbingo Baptist Hospital.

That training has already helped turn awareness into action. At one participating health center, several children diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma were referred to Mbingo for specialized treatment.

By strengthening early detection and referral pathways, Mbingo’s impact reaches well beyond the walls of its cancer center, helping more patients find their way to the care they need.

Dr. Tom's days at Mother of Mercy Referral Teaching Hospital are often long and unpredictable, filled with patients, surgeries, and whatever challenges come through the hospital doors.

But the part of the day he looks forward to most is much simpler.

"Getting home at night, seeing my kids and having supper with them."

After spending his days caring for the people of the Nuba Mountains, it's those ordinary moments at home that mean the most.

Behind the doctor so many know for his work at MMRTH is also a husband and father who looks forward to ending the day around the dinner table with his family.
