Programs described in its return (4)
- $140.5 million spent. Emergency Response and Preparedness: International Medical Corps is on the frontlines of the world's most urgent crises, saving lives and relieving suffering. With a roster of volunteer healthcare specialists on call, an experienced global staff, and supplies pre-positioned internationally, we have a well-earned reputation as a fast and reliable first responder. International Medical Corps also prepares communities on how best to respond to adversity when disaster strikes, creating a response capability that is immediate and ultimately fosters self-reliance. We responded to numerous humanitarian crises, including those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Israel/Gaza, Mali, Nigeria, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Ukraine, and Yemen. Additionally, International Medical Corps responded to natural disasters in the United States, Jamaica, Myanmar and the Philippines. We also strategically prepositioned medicines, medical equipment and supplies in key regional cities and provided training to staff and partners to ensure an ability to respond more rapidly.
- $33.8 million spent. WOMEN AND CHILDREN'S HEALTH: International Medical Corps works with communities and local health authorities to save lives and improve the health of expectant women and their babies by offering safe motherhood services. We also contribute to better health outcomes and the reduction of common childhood illnesses by providing lifesaving health services for children under five years of age and for adolescents. Additionally, we offer services to prevent violence against women and children and provide support for survivors. We also provide a range of mental health and other support services to protect children during disasters and emergencies.
- $10.5 million spent. BUILDING HEALTH CAPACITY: International Medical Corps assists local health authorities in providing primary and secondary healthcare services, collaborating closely with national governments and local community leaders to ensure that basic healthcare is accessible. We train health service providers, managers and community representatives to strengthen their capacity to deliver, manage and monitor their local health services. International Medical Corps also helps rehabilitate health facilities and supplies them with lifesaving drugs and medical supplies.
- NUTRITION, FOOD SECURITY AND LIVELIHOODS; WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE; MENTAL HEALTH AND PSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORT (MHPSS): International Medical Corps' approach to lifesaving nutrition focuses both on how to prevent and how to treat malnutrition. We strengthen nutrition programs in some of the world's most challenging environments. Our prevention strategies focus primarily on adolescents, pregnant and lactating women, and children under two, and our curative strategies center on children under five and pregnant and lactating women. International Medical Corps' food security and livelihood programs help these families grow nutrient-rich foods and diversify their diets. International Medical Corps implements lifesaving water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) projects across a range of settings, including health facilities, communities and schools. With hundreds of thousands of deaths each year caused by unsafe drinking water, poor sanitation and insufficient hygiene practices, we prioritize the prevention of water-related diseases, focusing on providing and improving access to reliable, safe and clean water; providing and improving sanitation; and promoting safe hygiene practices. Because survivors of conflict and disaster are at higher risk for psychological distress and mental health conditions, International Medical Corps plays a leading role in the advancement of mental health services and systems in humanitarian settings. As one of the few international humanitarian organizations to prioritize prevention and treatment of mental health and psychosocial needs in humanitarian crises, we respond to immediate needs and, as communities recover, focus on the longer term, helping strengthen mental healthcare.
