Adventist Health Global Mission is partnering with local healthcare organizations in northern Argentina to provide much-needed general surgical services to underserved indigenous communities, particularly the people of Santa Victoria Este and the surrounding region.

During this nine-day mission trip, the Adventist Health surgical team will work alongside local medical professionals in Tartagal to provide compassionate, high-quality surgical care to patients who have limited access to specialized services. Patients from Santa Victoria Este and neighboring indigenous communities will be identified and evaluated in advance, allowing the team to focus its time on individuals with the greatest medical needs.

The outreach will also strengthen the capacity of the local healthcare system through collaboration, shared knowledge, and hands-on partnership between the Adventist Health team and Argentine healthcare professionals.

Participants should be comfortable working in a collaborative international environment and be prepared to serve with flexibility, compassion, and cultural sensitivity.

Trip Cost

The total participant cost is $2,850 per person.

The trip fee includes:

• Round-trip airfare

Additional information regarding the travel itinerary, medical licensing requirements, required documents, immunizations, and packing recommendations will be provided to registered participants.

Our Mission

This trip is about more than completing surgical procedures. It is an opportunity to bring health, wholeness, and hope to communities that often experience significant barriers to care.

By serving alongside our partners in Argentina, the Adventist Health team will help restore health, relieve suffering, strengthen local healthcare relationships, and demonstrate the healing ministry of Jesus through compassionate service.

Join us October 3–11, 2026, as we serve the indigenous communities of northern Argentina and bring needed surgical care to those who need it most
