WHAT WE DO
Our goals align with the World Health Organization’s initiative on providing surgical and anesthesia services to resource-restricted countries. We build strong alliances with local healthcare workers so they may provide a higher standard of care to their patients year-round. We also deliver care directly to these communities by bringing highly trained specialists who not only donate their medical expertise to the local population, but work side by side with our international peers to help advance medical knowledge, while also coming to a better understanding of the cultures in which we serve.
HOW WE DO IT
Think Big. Act Bigger.
PROJECTS
AIM has been involved in multiple projects in Peru and Ghana, and is looking to expand to other countries.
