International Medical Corps (IMC) is a global humanitarian nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief programs. And then IMC is carrying out medical relief services in several provinces of Afghanistan. Unable to stand by and watch an entire people deprived of basic healthcare, International Medical Corps is born with a pioneering approach: train Afghan civilians as advanced medics, then support and supply them as they return to Soviet-occupied Afghanistan to treat residents in their home communities. The unprecedented program succeeds, establishing our work and the important role of training in humanitarian assistance. International Medical Corps Is a Global First Responder 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. The establishment of International Medical Corps in 1984 ushered in a new and different kind of relief agency. Further By providing healthcare through training, International Medical Corps challenged—indeed, changed—the very definition of relief work. Finally As a first responder, International Medical Corps doesn’t wait: whenever and wherever disaster strikes, our teams get there first to help those most in need.
