Description
International Medical Corps is a global humanitarian nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs. Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, IMC is a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that build local capacity in areas worldwide. By offering training and health care to local populations and medical assistance to people at highest risk, and with the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency situations, IMC rehabilitates devastated health care systems and helps bring them back to self-reliance.
IMC staff and volunteers come from all over the world and are united by a common goal: to save lives and alleviate the suffering of those affected by war, disease, and devastation. To help meet this goal, IMC places special emphasis on training local medical personnel in the skills and knowledge needed to rebuild their own health care systems. IMC provides extensive, hands-on training in the full range of health and managerial skills needed to restore self-reliance. Those who train with IMC, including thousands of female health care workers, go on to teach others in their communities, thus expanding IMC's legacy of care.
Since its founding in 1984, IMC has responded to man-made and natural catastrophes in more than 40 countries on five continents. IMC currently is providing lifesaving care in Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Burundi, Chad, DRC, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Georgia, Indonesia, Ingushetia, Iraq, Kenya, Liberia, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, and the United States.
