Welcome to the IMHO
Vision
Our vision is access to basic health care for all and well being of humanity.
Mission
IMHO USA helps to develop and improve the health care infrastructure throughout the world by focusing on one community at a time and one nation at a time. We improve the health of those communities where help is most needed by:
-
Assessing the health needs
-
Highlighting the state of health
-
Channeling resources to meet the identified needs
-
Facilitating the education and training of health care professionals
-
Partnering with grass roots organizations and international NGOs
The International Medical Health Organization (IMHO) is a US-based humanitarian organization established in 2003 by a committed group of doctors, nurses and other health care professionals. IMHO is a 501c3 registered, non-profit, non-political charity made up of over 400 health care and non-medical volunteers from 25 States.
Sri Lanka, an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 20 miles south of the tip of India has endured more than 20 years of civil war (war-torn areas of Sri Lanka) and faced the tsunami waves of December 26, 2004 which has taken a tremendous toll on the access and availability of health care for the people of Sri Lanka.
By offering training and health care to local populations as well as medical assistance to people at risk, IMHO helps to rehabilitate devastated health care systems and bring people back to self-reliance. IMHO projects mainly focus on improving the health and welfare of the people living in the war-ravaged and tsunami affected areas of Sri Lanka.
