Since 1993, International Medical Outreach (IMO) has been providing health care for those in need, worldwide. From our inception, programs, however small, focused on meeting the needs of those whom we have had the opportunity to serve. Recently, IMO has experienced explosive growth in response to ongoing healthcare problems around the globe. In the past three years alone, IMO has conducted 64 projects in 21 countries, providing medications and supplies valued at more than 500 million US dollars. During this time period, our deworming projects have treated over 44 million children, with additional untold numbers of patients benefitting from the hundreds of millions of dollars of IMO donated medications. Thousands more have been provided with vaccinations, health maintenance exams, drug rehabilitation, disaster relief, and specialty care for diseases such as HIV/AIDS among others.
In 2010, this pattern has continued:- IMO dewormed 17 million children in India, Lebanon, Tanzania, Kenya, Philippines, Guatemala, Egypt, Ecuador, and Nicaragua.
- IMO's HIV/AIDS programs continue to provide for orphans, widows, and others in Africa.
- School Health Maintenance is ongoing in Tanzania and Egypt.
- Community Health Programs continue in Ukraine and Guatemala.
- Distribution of Medications and Supplies valued in the millions of dollars have been donated to various hospitals and clinics worldwide.
- Emergency Disaster Relief was provided to Haitians in the aftermath of the recent disaster that struck in such a devastating manner.
Thank you for all you have done to make our last few years so successful!
With great anticipation we look forward to 2011. Already developments are underway that will allow us to continue and even expand our current programs. IMO will continue to explore new opportunities to serve, just as we have done from the very beginning.
Best Regards,
Todd Price
President, IMO
