About This Cause

IMA World Health aims to achieve health, healing and well-being for all through a four-part strategy. Health System Strengthening IMA builds integrated, holistic and sustainable health systems that increase access to quality health care, with an emphasis on vulnerable people. Partnerships IMA collaborates with local, national and international partners, especially faith-based networks and organizations, to join and leverage assets, resources, knowledge and voices. Technical Excellence IMA designs and implements innovative and effective technical approaches that demonstrate long-term, measurable improvements and impact on individual and community health. Organizational Health IMA invests in developing people, partners, continual learning and systems to maximize organizational impact on health care and the systems to sustain those improvements. IMA World Health began as Interchurch Medical Assistance in 1960. Our nearly 60 year history is based heavily in partnership: with member agencies, with donors, with the people we serve. Everything IMA does, it does in partnership and is based on decades of experience. We have extensive presence in six countries where we live out our mandate to bring health, healing and well-being to the world’s most vulnerable. Our staff in Haiti, Kenya, Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan and Indonesia feature public health experts who bring the best in science and practice to national and local partners. Our connections with ministries of health, district medical staff and community service organizations and communities of faith ensure we serve the most vulnerable, sustainably.
