46 million patient treatments were distributed in 2025, with one global community making it happen. That's healing made possible by people who showed up, gave generously, and believed that everyone deserves access to medicine.

MAP is diving in deeper at home! For years, MAP has served free and charitable clinics across the United States through our Domestic Medicine Program, delivering essential medicine to uninsured and underinsured patients in seven states. Now, we're doubling down. We've launched MAP USA, a dedicated team focused solely on expanding and strengthening our domestic impact. Their mission: to reach more clinics, serve more patients, and ensure that no one in America goes without the medicine they need. In 2024 alone, we provided over 290,000 patient treatments across 59 U.S. clinics. With this new team in place, we're just getting started.

This #WorldKidneyDay, meet Fiordaliza. When she saw blood in her urine, she knew something was wrong. But living in the Dominican Republic with two sons and a tight family budget, an expensive medical visit felt impossible. Through a MAP partner hospital, Fiordaliza was diagnosed with a genetic kidney disease and received a four-month supply of specialized medication, completely free. "I can carry out the complete treatment and have greater chances to improve and recover my health," she says. Because of your generosity, people like Fiordaliza get the medicine they need and the peace of mind to stay present for their families.

When disaster strikes, the damage you can see is only part of the story. Clinics run out of medicine, supply chains collapse, and patients with chronic illness lose access to the treatments keeping them alive. In 2025, MAP delivered 166,628 Disaster Health Kits and deployed emergency medicine packs capable of serving tens of thousands of people for months at a time. Your generosity makes that possible.

Today is #RareDiseaseDay. Millions of people worldwide live with rare diseases, and most will wait years for a diagnosis. Many will never get one. But here's what makes it harder: even when there's a diagnosis, even when there's a treatment that could help, millions of people still can't access it. Not because the medicine doesn't exist, but because they can't reach it. At MAP, we are striving to change that. Learn more about our mission: map.org

4.5 billion people don't have reliable access to essential health services. That's more than half the world's population living without the care that many take for granted. Global medical missions exist to close that gap, delivering medicines, training local health workers, and partnering with communities so that healing reaches the people who need it most.

Dr. David Satcher spent his career confronting one of medicine's most painful realities: that race and poverty too often determined who received care and who was left behind. He has spent his career making the case that equitable access to care isn't a privilege, it's a right. His legacy lives in the work still being done today. At MAP, every shipment of medicine sent to a community that would otherwise go without it is a continuation of that same conviction. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we honor Dr. Satcher and the generations of lives his work continues to shape.

Malnutrition doesn't just make children hungry. It weakens immune systems, stunts growth, and makes treatable illnesses deadly. A child with malnutrition can't fight off pneumonia, can't recover from diarrhea and can't attend school consistently or learn effectively. MAP delivers fortified nutrition supplements, vitamins, and essential medicines to malnourished children in underserved communities. Because proper nutrition isn't a luxury, It's the foundation for a healthy life.

When you support MAP, you support our network of 300+ carefully-chosen, on-the-ground partners who are each working in their local communities. We tailor each shipment of medicine to directly meet their specific needs. If you'd like to learn more about being a MAP partner or how we work, click here: map.org/how-we-work/

Last year, MAP provided over 2 million patient treatments in 53 countries to address hypertension and kidney disease through a network of 328 partners. Access to these medicines in low and middle-income countries is one of the most cost-effective strategies for preventing tragedy, saving lives, and restoring health. The solution exists. We just need to get it to the people who need it. Thank you for helping us serve the most vulnerable.

When a nine-year-old girl watched her mother collapse from cancer in their three-room apartment, with no insurance and no way to get help, something shifted inside her forever. Dr. Marilyn Gaston spent her entire career making sure no one else would face that kind of helplessness. She became the first African American woman to direct a U.S. Public Health Service bureau and one of only two Black women to hold the rank of Rear Admiral and Assistant Surgeon General. MAP was built on the same belief that guided Dr. Gaston's life: that where you come from should never determine whether you receive the care you need. This #BlackHistoryMonth, we celebrate her legacy and the millions of lives it continues to protect.

250 million young children in low-income countries face the threat of inadequate development due to poor nutrition. We believe all young ones deserve to receive the essential nutrition, hydration and access to essential medicines in developing countries to support healthy growth.

Love heals. It crosses borders. It breaks through barriers. It reaches people the world said didn't matter. This Valentine's Day, we're thinking about a different kind of love — the kind that shows up with medicine when a child is sick, with antibiotics when infection threatens, with hope when despair feels permanent. Happy Valentine's day! map.org
