The establishment of International Medical Corps in 1984 ushered in a new and different kind of relief agency. By providing health care through training, International Medical Corps challenged—indeed, changed—the very definition of relief work. We provide training and deliver emergency healthcare and related services to those affected by conflict, natural disaster and disease no matter where they are, no matter what the conditions. We train people in their communities, providing them the skills needed to recover, chart their own path to self-reliance and become effective First Responders themselves. International Medical Corps’ organizational values and guiding principles have remained consistent: to provide relief, rebuild communities and enable self-reliance.
