Overview

Mission

MEDICO provides and promotes health care for the underserved poor in Central America. It provides direct medical and dental care through field teams, increases local capacity by training providers, builds and refurbishes health clinics, community schools and water systems.

What it reported doing in 2025

Working in conjunction with local community leaders as well as the Ministries of Health and Education, MEDICO organized and funded the construction, renovation or repair of one community clinic and five schools in remote locations in Gracias a Dios, Honduras.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
