ANDEAN MEDICAL MISSION

The Andean Medical Mission is a UK charity set up to help organize, build and manage eye care services in the remote regions of the Bolivian Amazon and Andean mountains and neighboring countriesWe carry out sight saving eye surgery and are committed to helping Bolivian doctors by providing training and equipment. Our services are provided free of charge thanks to your support
Analysis by Giving is Great

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

  • The Board composition appears to be rather static

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
