ABOUT IMA WORLD HEALTH
With their deeply rooted community networks and technical expertise, faith-based organizations in the global health sector are uniquely positioned to identify and meet local needs, often reaching remote and marginalized areas others cannot.
And FBOs can do more together than alone. That is why ecumenical partners came together to form IMA World Health in 1960, why we joined with Lutheran World Relief to found the Corus International family in 2020, and why we are proud to be sponsors of the 2021 Christian Connections for International Health Virtual Conference.
