Medical Knowledge Institute

The Medical Knowledge Institute (MKI) is an international non-profit foundation committed to healthcare education and healthcare information. It acts from the premise that healthcare is a human right. All programmes of MKI are designed to improve the quality and humanitarian values of life, especially in developing countries. The institute provides medical related trainings and workshops to local healthcare workers and can draw from a worldwide pool of medical experts.

Desmond Tutu on MKI: “Medical Knowledge Institute stands for life-loving, life-generating and life-giving! I want to pay a very warm tribute to the Medical Knowledge Institute and their many volunteers who are on the front line meeting the challenges of HIV/AIDS and other opportunistic diseases that decimate communities in situations of poverty and underdevelopment. MKI’s public health activities and mandate to train and inform health workers to promote prevention are doing a lot to reduce untold misery and suffering. I am proud to be associated with MKI; the organisation is doing outstanding work at the grassroots level, where it counts. I urge you to support their life-giving, life-generating and live-loving work!”
