International Medical Corps UK

is a humanitarian, non-profit organisation,

which saves lives, rehabilitates health care systems

& helps communities return to self-reliance

 

 

How we are different

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.

 

Fast


We react quickly and effectively, particularly during humanitarian emergencies, wherever our help is most needed.

Global

 

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.

Local

People affected by disasters, conflict and poverty know best how to rebuild their lives and achieve a healthy prosperous future for their families and communities.

International Medical Corps uses 25 years of experience and our global infrastructure to mobilise technical expertise, resources and the enthusiasm of our supporters in order to empower local people to move from relief to self reliance.
