| scb_admin_history |
In 1902 the Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society established a Medical Fund, with the slogan 'Save Life', to raise funds to improve upon its medical missionary work. At the same they realised that they needed to improve the management of existing medical missions and to spend newly raised funds more effectively and so it created, in 1903, the Medical Sub-committee to oversee this work.
In March 1913, as a result of the rearrangement in the administration of the WMMS and a restructuring of its committees, the Medical Missions Committee was charged with the responsibility of raising funds for supporting medical work overseas and its administration. Half of its members were to be chosen from the Medical Board whilst the remaining half from non-medical members of the General Committee.
