“COVID-19 is a terrible disease, and it claims the lives of hundreds, thousands of people. The Bahamas was crying out for help. We really count it as a privilege to come in at a point in time where a nation has a significant need and be able to care for the citizens.”

“God has provided the equipment, personnel, and opportunities for us to help Bahamian families in the midst of this pandemic. We pray that as we come alongside the local hospital system, God would be glorified and people would experience the love of Jesus.”

“It is incredible to look back and see how God uniquely prepared us to fight COVID-19 through our work with Ebola in 2014. This year, we are using the techniques and skills that we learned during that response to provide critical COVID-19 care around the world. God has taken our faithfulness to serve during Ebola and equipped us to aid Bahamian families in the midst of this pandemic.”

“One year ago, Samaritan's Purse responded in the Bahamas to the devastation of Hurricane Dorian. Now, we have the opportunity to come alongside Bahamians again as positive COVID-19 cases continue to rise. We want to provide physical care to patients who are suffering from the virus, but we also want to bring God's love and hope to families in need.”

“There is a need for supplementary medical care in the Bahamas as hospitals have become overwhelmed with the number of COVID-19 cases and clinical staff are falling sick. Our teams will provide necessary clinical support for COVID patients while training healthcare workers in proper Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) protocols to help slow the spread of this virus.”
