MMI’s work in Mexico began in the 1970’s. Apart from the 1 and 2 week projects taking place, it has been possible to initiate three Health Centers committed to serve the poor of Mexico. The Health Center in Montemorelos has a vibrant residency training program sending ophthalmologists to many countries of the world.

For the past years Juan Carlos Pedraza has been involved in project leadership, mainly in Mexico. He has been helping to move our project work into other areas of medicine such as dentistry and general surgery. Dan Copeland has been living in Chiapas since 2009 helping to launch new 1 and 2 week projects in the south of Mexico.
