HOW YOU CaN HELP ON THE COVER : A child is vaccinated at an International Medical Corps clinic in a refugee resettlement camp in Afghanistan Dear Friends of International Medical Corps: We are reminded this year of a truth about the work we do, striving to save lives in difficult environments around the world: there is often no way to know in advance the tragedies, natural or man-made, that can suddenly befall vulnerable people. As 2009 came to a close, International Medical Corps was marking 25 years of delivering critically needed health care and training in some 25 countries throughout Africa, Asia and the Middle East. In places like Afghanistan, Iraq, Indonesia, Darfur and the Democratic Republic of Congo, our staff of nearly 4,000, along with thousands of volunteers, provided emergency relief while distressed communities recover and become self-reliant. At the very outset of 2010, as we delivered programs serving nearly 12 million people around the world, a new catastrophe struck: an earthquake in Haiti that would last just 45 seconds, but would claim the lives of approximately 230,000 people and displace more than a million others. As we have during so many other emergencies, International Medical Corps responded immediately and effectively to this disaster - and always maintaining a focus on our mission of training local people, addressing their long-term needs and helping them reclaim their lives with dignity and hope. The world is an increasingly perilous place. Once again this year the challenges we faced were enormous, whether providing - or training local people to provide - immunizations to children, safe deliveries for pregnant women, or clean drinking water to communities. We are so proud of the tremendous impact we had, the lives we saved and the fact that we helped millions to build healthier futures for their families. We could not have achieved all of this without the individuals, corporations, foundations, government agencies, and our partners who play a critical role in all of our program activities. We deeply appreciate the confidence and trust that you place in us and look forward to your continued support. Sincerely, Robert Simon, MD Nancy A. Aossey Founder & Chairman President & CEO 1 2 2 InternationalMedicalCorps.org From Relief to Self-Reliance International Medical Corps is a global, humanitarian, nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs.

In emergencies, we deploy immediately to assist victims of natural and man-made disasters. In fragile states and nations striving to recover and progress, we bring the tools and knowledge for long- term development. Whatever our task, we teach skills that empower local communities and promote self-reliance. 7 OUR PHILOSOPHY We believe self-reliance is only possible through lasting solutions anchored in local culture, affirmed by local decision- making and carried out by local residents trained with the necessary skills that then become a community asset. That is why we draw over 90 percent of our staff from local communities and place key decisions in local hands, offering a unique focus that lifts people to their fullest potential. 8 BY THE NUMBERS 2009Despite deteriorating security conditions in many parts of the world in 2009, our local staff of nearly 4,000 delivered
