International Medical Corps

International Medical Corps is a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization founded in 1984. Their mission revolves around providing lifesaving emergency health services and promoting self-reliance through training. The organization was established by volunteer doctors and nurses to save lives and relieve suffering through health care training and relief and development programs. It operates as a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization with a focus on improving the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that build local capacity in underserved communities worldwide. Their approach involves offering training and health care to local populations, providing medical assistance to those at highest risk, and maintaining the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency situations. With a recent $345.00K grant investment received on 25 January 2024 from the Astellas Global Health Foundation, International Medical Corps aims to continue their efforts in rehabilitating devastated health care systems and bringing them back to self-reliance. Operating from the United States, the International Medical Corps focuses on delivering impactful, lifesaving interventions to those in crisis while also working towards long-term, sustainable solutions.
