“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.”

“The Luke Commission (TLC) uses a Comprehensive Compassionate Care model to deliver medical services to underserved populations in Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), a small, landlocked country in southern Africa. A growing team of Swazi nationals has been trained to lead and implement all aspects of the model. Eswatini is a country of 1.2 million people with the highest HIV/AIDS rate worldwide-women of childbearing age have an HIV+ rate of over 45%. Although the HIV/AIDS epidemic has plateaued, the work of caring for those who live with HIV in the underserved areas of Eswatini and the continued need for HIV prevention, care and treatment necessitates the work of TLC. TLC delivers medical services through mobile medical hospital outreaches and at fixed inpatient and outpatient facilities at its centrally-located base of operations (Miracle Campus). The Miracle Campus offers all outreach services plus additional services such as emergency medical care, mental health, critical care, and palliative care. Lack of transportation is a critical barrier to underserved populations receiving healthcare. TLC's mobile hospital outreach model overcomes this barrier by delivering health services directly to patients in remote communities. In addition, TLC offers transport reimbursement for patients who come for care to the Miracle Campus. More than 650 patients are treated at each mobile hospital outreach. TLC provides outpatient, inpatient, surgical, emergency, and critical care at the ever-expanding fixed-site Miracle Campus in central Eswatini. TLC offers testing for chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, TB, and HIV/AIDS in an integrated healthcare context. In 2019, approximately 99,000 patients were treated at 122 mobile hospital outreaches. Those with sight problems received eyeglasses, all-terrain wheelchairs were given to the disabled, packets of medications were dispensed, and clothing and shoes were given to orphans and vulnerable children. In 2019, approximately 554,500 medical treatments were delivered.”
