Medical Brigades at Syracuse University is directly part of the world's largest student-led global sustainable health and development movement. The Syracuse chapter systematically works with more than 400 other university groups around the world to deliver and implement one of nine skill-based programs that benefit more than 130,000 Honduran Ghanaian, Nicaraguan, and Panamanian community members annually.

Global Medical Brigades develops sustainable health initiatives and provides relief where there is limited access to healthcare. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
