International Medical Corps

Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, we are a preeminent first responder with no political or religious affiliation, and now have more than 8,000 staff members around the world, more than 96% of whom are local.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that strengthen underserved communities worldwide. With the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergencies, we deliver emergency medical and related services to those affected by conflict, disaster and disease, no matter where they are, no matter what the conditions. We also train people in their communities, providing them with the skills they need to recover, chart their own path to self-reliance and become effective first responders themselves.

Since our founding we have delivered more than $4.2 billion in emergency relief and health care services and training to more than 80 countries.
