Yet amid an increasingly dangerous world we have been able to respond quickly, effectively and strategically, delivering emergency relief and development programs that focus on training locals so they can once again become self-reliant. This past year was as challenging as ever. It began with unprecedented calamity in Haiti with a massive earthquake that government officials estimate killed 310,000 people and displaced millions of others. We deployed hundreds of volunteers who were able to deliver lifesaving relief while training local health care workers. By the time a deadly epidemic of cholera spread across the island nation nine months later, we had trained thousands of local health workers, 1,100 of whom we were employing and who were able to quickly mobilize, provide treatment and educate communities on the disease. Similarly, when monsoon floods wiped out huge swaths of Pakistan, affecting an astonishing 20 million people, our teams of 700 trained Pakistani health workers responded rapidly throughout the country, addressing dire short- and long-term health needs and helping restore people’s lives with dignity and hope. Meantime, after four decades of civil war, South Sudan stood poised to become an independent state, yet continues to struggle with conflict and some of the worst health indicators on the planet – 1 in 4 children will not live to age five, and there are only 180 doctors for 8 million people. International Medical Corps has been working in this troubled region since 1994, and is running ambitious training programs to build South Sudan’s health care workforce. In other places like Darfur, Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Democratic Republic of Congo, we carried out our emergency response operations while continuing our training programs – providing maternal/child health care, mental health services, and clean water, sanitation and hygiene. Our ability to respond whenever and wherever we are needed most is the hallmark of our work. We are able to be flexible, innovative and effective because of the individuals, corporations, foundations, government agencies, and other partners who play a vital role in our program activities. We hope that you take great pride in what we have achieved together. We are deeply grateful for the confidence and trust that you place in us and look forward to your continued support. Sincerely, Robert R. Simon, MD Nancy A.
