“The Form 990 is prepared by an independent CPA firm. The Form 990 is then reviewed in detail and approved by the executive director and board before it is filed with the IRS.”

“Officers and board members sign annual conflict of interest statements. The board and executive director monitor all transactions for potential conflicts of interest. If a potential conflict is identified, the person with a conflict recuses his or herself from the decision making process and the independent board members vote whether or not to proceed with the transaction if it is in the best interest of the organization.”

“The executive directors' compensation was approved by the independent members of the board. Comparability data was used during the process. The approval process was documented in the board minutes. There were no other officers or key employees compensated by the organization. Therefore, Line 15b was answered no in accordance with the instructions.”

“The organization makes its governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and financial statements available upon request.”

“The 2015 990 for The Luke Commission is being amended to accurately report the audited financial statements.

Therefore, Part VIII, Part X, Part XI, Schedule A, Part II, and Schedule D, Part XI have been updated to reflect these changes. Additionally, Part III, Line 1, has been expanded to provide more details regarding the organization's mission.”

“The Luke Commission (TLC) developed the Comprehensive Compassionate Care model delivering mobile hospital outreach services to rural underserved populations. Swazi nationals have been trained to support all aspects of the model. Swaziland is a country of 1.2 million people with the highest HIV/AIDS rate worldwide where women of childbearing age have an HIV+ rate of over 45%. Although the epidemic has plateaued, the work of caring for those who live with HIV in the rural areas of Swaziland and the continued need of HIV prevention, care and treatment necessitates the work of TLC. TLC began with basic healthcare services in 2006 and added HIV/AIDS testing and counseling, TB screening, and HIV prevention through voluntary medical male circumcision in conjunction with in-country partners and the Swaziland Ministry of Health. With the increasing need in the rural areas, TLC has expanded its services to include a mobile lab, mobile x-ray and 11-bed surgery unit. Swaziland's Ministry of Health has recognized TLC as a mobile hospital unit and developed a MOU to incorporate the TLC model into the national healthcare system. The Luke Commission offers comprehensive medical services including diagnoses & treatment, medications with written instructions in SiSwati, HIV testing & counseling, TB screening and testing, vision care & eyeglasses, cataract screening and treatment, wheelchairs & assistive devices for disabled, neonatal and adult voluntary medical male circumcision, minor surgical procedures, health education, gender based violence prevention education and support, family planning services including long acting contraceptives, orphaned and vulnerable children support through shoe distribution.”
