History

The International Medical Health Organization--Canada (IMHO Canada) is an international humanitarian organization that focuses on developing and improving health care in disadvantaged and needy regions worldwide. IMHO Canada is a registered not-for-profit organization in Canada and is currently awaiting registration with the government of Canada as a charitable organization. The organization was formed in 2008, following the model and mission/vision of the original IMHO in the United States. Although IMHO Canada shares a unique and close relationship with IMHO USA, it is an independent organization driven by its own Board of Directors and Team.

Mission

To develop and improve health and health care infrastructure in under-served regions worldwide.

Vision

IMHO Canada aims to improve health care across the globe for those in need, by identifying health needs and providing resources & training to address those needs. We believe in empowering communities to build their own health systems, improve overall health, and to respond to health needs as they arise. In this way, we promote self-reliance and sustainability. IMHO Canada often partners with local and international non-governmental organizations to better channel assistance to needy populations. Our work is focused on the following areas:

                        1. Primary Care & Public Health
                        2. Health Education & Training
                        3. Capacity-Building

Founding Principles

IMHO Canada is founded on principles of humanitarianism and neutrality. IMHO Canada chooses its areas of operation according to an objective needs-based analysis, and remains impartial in treating suffering communities in conflict situations. IMHO Canada works to provide assistance during times of monumental suffering, such as in the aftermath of natural and manmade disasters. This emergency relief work complements IMHO Canada’s ongoing structural and capacity-building work to enhance health care opportunities and relief.
