A
preeminent first responder, International Medical Corps provides emergency relief
to those struck by conflict, disaster and disease - no matter where they
are, no matter what the conditions - working with them to recover, rebuild
and gain the skills and tools required for self-reliance. After the
emergency has passed and our disaster-relief effort has ended, we shift from
emergency medical response to long-term medical support and training. We
provide resources and training to help local staff provide a range of
services - including healthcare, food, water and sanitation support - to
their communities.
