Serving in Prison
OMF Cambodia seconds some members to other organisations, in accordance with its normal practice of doing this rather than establishing its own projects. Members seconded in this way continue to be a full member of the OMF Team. Currently one of the doctors is being seconded part-time to Prison Fellowship Cambodia as their medical advisor, providing medical care to prisoners in the police hospital, in some of the prisons and also to ex-prisoners. The health care system in the prisons is ridden with corruption, inadequate medical supplies and inadequately trained medical personnel.
He also serves as the Team Doctor to the OMF Field Members giving medical advice, simple medical care and co-ordinating medical evacuations as and when needed. New members arriving in Cambodia are given an orientation by the Team Doctor with regards to local health and safety issues. He is also part of the Medical Team that meets fortnightly for a time of fellowship, encouragement, prayer and Bible study.
