About Us

The international division of Medical Care Development, MCDI was founded in 1977 with the belief that MCD's successful approach to health systems development in the rural United States could be adapted to meet the needs of developing nations. A global non-profit organization, MCDI uses practical, evidence-based and high-impact approaches to strengthen health systems in developing countries. For almost 40 years, MCDI has worked to improve the health of vulnerable populations overseas through integrated, sustainable and locally-driven interventions. MCDI has implemented public health programs in over 40 countries aimed at targeting the world's most vulnerable populations. MCDI collaborates with donors, national governments, the private sector, health agencies, communities and local stakeholders to improve health and save lives in the following areas: malaria control; maternal, neonatal and child health; water, sanitation and hygiene; tuberculosis; HIV/AIDS; and other communicable diseases.

MCD's Commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
To be engaged, each of us must feel included and valued. Medical Care Development, Inc. (MCD) understands this and strives to build and nurture a culture where inclusiveness is a reflex, not an initiative; where there is a deep sense of pride, passion and belonging that transcends any role, business unit, language or country; and, where everyone is unified in a shared commitment to excellence, innovation and social responsibility. MCD knows through experience that different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds create a stronger and more creative work environment that ultimately delivers better results.
