American Women's Hospitals Service

04/23/2025

In 1917 the Medical Women’s National Association (later renamed AMWA) established a war service committee in order to create a census of the medical women in the country and to plan how to apply their resources to the war effort. ​​The war service committee, later named the American Women’s Hospitals Service, decided to take charge by providing medical service abroad and establishing military hospitals overseas.

Although the armistice was signed a year later, the ensuing local wars, revolutions, earthquakes, famine, and millions of destitute refugees meant that medical assistance remained urgently needed around the world. AWHS expanded its service at home and abroad in order to address the thousands who looked for help.

Today, AWHS continues the legacy of our founders through working with AMWA as its charitable arm, supporting independent clinics outside the US offering essential medical care to diverse populations.

You hear sometimes, now that we know the sordid details of the lives of some of our leading figures, that America has no heroes left.

If there's one thing Fred Rogers taught us it's to be kind. What's something he taught you?

Around 3am this morning, Engeye clinicians and members of the visiting medical team responded to a very ill child. After examination & initial treatment, the Engeye ambulance transported the patient to Masaka Regional Referral Hospital for further treatment and potential surgical intervention. We are grateful for the clinicians commitment & dedication to the patient and are thankful to be able to offer transportation services to assist in the emergency.

Engeye staff will engage in follow up to ensure the best possible outcome moving forward.
