IMC - International Medical Corps (Sudan)

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.We are a global humanitarian organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering. Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, we are a nonprofit with no political or religious affiliation, and now have more than 8,000 staff members around the world, more than 96% of whom are local. Our mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that strengthen underserved communities worldwide. With the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergencies, we offer medical services and training to people at the highest risk, always working to strengthen local healthcare systems and promote self-reliance.

International Medical Corps currently supports and operates in 88 health facilities across Sudan, delivering essential health services, strengthening health systems and providing resources for the deployment of skilled health workers to those facilities. Essential health services include disease treatment and prevention, reproductive healthcare, health education, immunization, child healthcare and surveillance, and referrals to emergency- and secondary-level health services, including surgery and obstetric care. We also provide comprehensive reproductive health services for mothers, as well as integrated management of childhood illnesses and assistance with newborn care. Through our facilities, International Medical Corps sees an average of 35,000 new patients per month.

International Medical Corps has worked in Sudan since 2004, providing health, nutrition, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services.
