Disasters Can Be Unpredictable. Relief Shouldn’t Be.

As case numbers continue to increase in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, International Medical Corps is working to treat Ebola patients and stop the spread of the deadly disease.

In Somalia, South Sudan, Nigeria, Yemen and Ethiopia, millions of people are at risk of starvation. In these countries, drought, increasing conflict and displacement have created a humanitarian crisis on a scale not seen in decades. In 2018, we treated more than 75,000 children for severe malnutrition.

Half of Syria’s population has been uprooted from their homes, fueling the largest displacement crisis since World War II. We reach people where they are, providing lifesaving healthcare, training and other services.

We provide midwifery training so that more moms and babies can have healthy pregnancies—and safe deliveries.

Our staff numbers more than 7,000 worldwide, with 95% recruited locally. Because our approach encompasses relief, recovery and resilience, training is an essential and consistent part of everything we do. Our strategy ensures that the knowledge required to prepare for future emergencies remains anchored in the communities we serve.

Training builds knowledge, instills confidence and fosters self-reliance.

We provided more than 4.8 million medical consultations, as well as specialized treatment such as nutrition, mental health and psychosocial support, and other services.

Proper hygiene is a key ingredient to good health. We teach people how to prevent disease through good hygiene, while helping provide access to safe, sanitary conditions and clean water.
