ICMDA
CMF was a founder member of the International Christian Medical and Dental Association (ICMDA), which draws together associations of Christian doctors and dentists in over 100 countries (and growing). Its vision is to see a Christian witness through doctors and dentists in every community in every nation.
ICMDA was formed in 1963 when doctors from 16 different countries gathered for a conference in Amsterdam. It now includes nearly 100 member movements and is growing all the time, as fledgling organisations join, and new movements are born.
Regular conferences are held around the world – these may be gatherings of a few neighbouring countries or of one of the 14 geographical regions of ICMDA. Every four years, a World Congress brings together doctors, dentists, and students from all around the globe. The most recent one was in held in Arusha, Tanzania in June 2023. The next World Congress in 2026 will be held on Jeju Island, South Korea, from 30 June to 5 July.
NCFI
The nurses and midwives fellowship has been part of CMF since 2013, and since then we have also been members of Nurses Christian Fellowship International (NCFI), a network of more than 30 national Christian nursing associations. NCFI aims to advance a Christian worldview in nursing practice, education, research, and leadership, and provides a worldwide voice for Christian nursing.
Through it’s six regions, NCFI connects national fellowships for learning, fellowship and mutual encouragement through regional conferences and training programmes. Every four years, there is also a World Congress, with the next one happening in June 2024 in Malaga, Spain.
