This thesis investigates the shared cultural model of Christian medical missionaries as actors within global health through ethnographic mixed-methods research. This research reveals how contemporary medical missionaries view and approach their medical practice and the power they wield over patients particularly through evangelizing and conversion-seeking behaviors within a clinic setting. Working within moralistic concepts of compassion and humility, Christian medical missions leverage their medical work in order to create opportunities to proselytize their faith. Positioned within postcolonial theory, this thesis reveals how contemporary Christian medical missionaries engage in a form of neocolonialism through their conversion efforts linked to their medical practice and their continued utilization of a colonial model in which converting indigenous populations to Western Christianity is placed as a priority.
