LIGA - The Flying Doctors of Mercy - Our Mission
DONATE 

Since 1934, Liga has been dedicated to improving the health & well-being
of the people of Sinaloa Mexico by providing free health care & education

Welcome to Liga International
Since 1934, the Flying Doctors of Mercy have been creating miracles deep in the heart of México, where only the employed can afford medical and dental care. With modern donated equipment, Liga volunteers treat tens of thousands of persons every year, and provide millions of dollars in services to the local peoples.

Audiologists, physicians, surgeons, podiatrists, anesthetists, nurses, translators and others from all corners of the globe, depart in aircraft from California, Arizona and Nevada for their flights to historic El Fuerte in the State of Sinaloa, México. When they return to their homes early Sunday afternoon, they will have been away little more than 48 hours, but together they will have changed over 1,000 lives, and have experienced a trip of a lifetime.
Honoring Departed Liga Volunteers

George Renfroe - Liga Pilot, San Blas Coordinator.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to George's Family and Friends, who have requested donations to the Liga Wheelchair fund in lieu of flowers. No public services are planned.
