Health has always been an important topic of discussion. From the outlining of its definition, ceasing to think of something 'complete', but rather 'dynamic', it is present in all organizations, including missionaries. This essay weaves an important discussion about the need to care for the health of populations, as well as to care for the health of missionaries, their families and other workers. Mentions the need for care in different areas (such as Women's Health and Mental Health), highlighting the importance of prevention to the Health of the peoples being monitored, as a measure of quality of life (personal and professional), as well as the quality of work in the missionary field itself. Also, the preparation of the health professional, within their function (as a member of a multiprofessional team) is of paramount importance. Finally, it is necessary to understand the practical meaningsof 'vocation' and 'call' as constituent, basic and necessary elements for healthprofessionals who participate in missionary work,understanding the Go from Jesus, loving Missions and those who need to be achieved.
