ABOUT US
Honduras faces challenges that limit access to decent health care. Poverty and lack of employment leave thousands without medical care. But this reality inspired the creation of the Centro Cristiano de Servicios Humanitarios de Honduras (CCSHH).
We are a comprehensive clinic that offers: ophthalmology, optics, ocular prosthesis, general medicine, pediatrics and dentistry to those most in need, without distinction of creed or origin.
We do not work alone. Doctors, nurses, churches, organizations and people like you make it possible for thousands of Hondurans to regain their health every year. Our team is committed to excellence and continuous improvement, because every patient is our priority.
Thank you for sharing our mission, you are always welcome!

OUR HISTORY
Daniel Castro, together with his wife and the Group Mission of the Christian Medical and Dental Society (GMM), under the auspices of Mr. William Hunter, decided to move from the Dominican Republic to Honduras a factory for mass production of lenses for distribution in Central America. With this vision, land is acquired to build the factory and work is done during the following years to make the project a reality.
William Hunter takes a sabbatical year from GMM and, during that time, contacts Rev. Daniel Castro to integrate an ophthalmologist physician in the medical brigades he was coordinating. Thus Dr. Douglas Perry arrived in Honduras, in the city of La Esperanza, Intibucá, with the commitment to provide medical and academic services.
By then, GMM reports that it will not be possible to relocate the factory as planned. Dr. Perry tells William Hunter that Honduras needs a lot of help and that he is willing to serve in the country.
With the support of the now MedicalGs Ministry International and the Presbyterian Church, an ophthalmology clinic is built on the acquired land, which is transferred to the name of what is now the Christian Center for Humanitarian Services of Honduras (CCSHH).
And so, in 1997, the CCSHH was founded in the city of El Progreso, Yoro.
OUR MISSION
To satisfy the ophthalmological, surgical, general medical and spiritual needs of all Hondurans with limited economic resources, improving their quality of life through a high quality service.
OUR VISION
To be one of the most comprehensive medical care centres for the prevention, treatment and cure of preventable blindness in our country.
OUR VALUES
In our organisation (Centro Cristiano de Servicios Humanitarios de Honduras CCSHH) the spiritual aspect is always present, taking God as the centre for the realisation of all the work.
