Burkina Faso is a country that struggles with many health issues causing the average life expectancy to be slightly less than 50 years old. Many people die from easily treatable or preventable diseases like malaria, typhoid fever, meningitis, hepatitis A, parasites, diarrheal diseases, and malnutrition. Sickness and disease are a constant battle of the Burkinabe people due to lack of education about disease prevention and a lack of available healthcare outside of capital city limits.

Christian World Outreach (CWO) began operating a mobile medical clinic in 2010 based out of Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina. The CWO Mobile Medical Clinic brings basic medical care and medications to small villages in Burkina Faso where villagers have little to no access to healthcare. The clinic aims to partner with small village churches to give them an opportunity to evangelize to their communities by offering the medical outreaches at the churches. Each medical outreach includes free consultations with medical staff, free or low cost medications, basic health seminars, and evangelical outreaches including dramas, testimonies, and singing. Many people have been healed physically because of the CWO Mobile Medical Clinic, but even more people have heard the Good News of Jesus Christ because of the evangelical opportunities the clinic has created.
