International Medical Corps UK
is a humanitarian, non-profit organisation,
which saves lives, rehabilitates health care systems
& helps communities return to self-reliance
Since 1984 International Medical Corps has been responding to humanitarian emergencies and supporting communities affected by disasters, conflict and poverty.
We emphasise training and education, and prioritise hiring local staff – in fact, 96% of our field-based staff and health professionals are recruited from the local community. This helps to ensure that skills and knowledge are passed on and remain long after our programmes have ended.
We react quickly and effectively, particularly during humanitarian emergencies, wherever our help is most needed.

We work in some of the world’s most challenging environments, in countries that do not feature on many people’s priority lists and in the remotest parts of those countries, where the need is greatest.
