Access to healthcare in rural Africa remains a critical challenge, with significant gaps in resources, facilities, and trained personnel. Around 44% of Africa's population lives in rural areas where healthcare services are minimal or entirely absent, leading to high rates of preventable diseases, maternal and child mortality, and untreated chronic conditions. In some regions, there is only one doctor per 5,000 people. Strengthening healthcare in these underserved areas is essential for improving public health, reducing inequities, and fostering sustainable development across the continent.
The Luke Commission (TLC) is dedicated to providing accessible healthcare for underserved communities in Eswatini, Africa. Since 2005, TLC has leveraged compassionate care and advanced technology to bring medical aid directly to rural populations, where traditional healthcare services are often unavailable. With the support of local staff and innovative methods, TLC operates the Miracle Campus, a comprehensive medical facility, and conducts mobile outreach for communities facing extreme healthcare barriers.
TLC’s commitment to treating each patient as a “Very Important Patient” reflects its philosophy of empathy and excellence. Their services range from HIV/AIDS treatments and cervical cancer screenings to specialized surgeries and emergency responses. By partnering with local and international organizations, TLC effectively tackles challenges and maximizes impact across a wide range of healthcare needs.
Through donor support, TLC continues to expand its impact, offering sustainable healthcare and training for future leaders in Eswatini. By bridging the healthcare gap for isolated communities, The Luke Commission is making lasting strides in public health and bringing hope to every patient served.

Pray that The Luke Commission receives the resources and support to keep providing life-saving healthcare and hope to Eswatini’s underserved communities.
