International Medical Relief (IMR) provides sustainable community health education to all of the communities we serve. When communities become empowered to take health and wellness issues into their own hands they become self-sufficient. Through classes and hands-on learning, IMR medical mission trips provide learning opportunities for the local communities to sustain their well-being beyond our visits.

We also provide technical expertise to local medical professionals through a partnership with them in diagnosis assistance and a mutual exchange of ideas. Clean water, basic hygiene, and nutritional tips can go a long way toward saving lives and stopping the spread of disease. These classes are based on the leading health indicators from United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG) and in collaboration with strategic plans from the ministry of health of each specific country.

IMR front line responders serve to provide effective and productive community health education that allows locals to become more empowered to take care of their own health, as well as the health of other community members. This model allows for both teaching and learning from the provider and the patient to grow the health capacities of communities to help influence a better tomorrow.

Through these education initiatives, IMR is able to help grow the capacities of healthcare in local communities and increase the overall well-being and health of the population. By working with our partners and local health officials, we are able to conduct an education plan that is impactful to the specific communities we serve.

Creating a roadmap to a healthier tomorrow in collaboration with our international partners is imperative to reaching our greatest level of success.  IMR promotes well-being and multi-disciplinary approaches to health within the setting of everyday life.  Education is a primary goal in every community.  We work diligently toward creating strong, pertinent, culturally responsible training materials to elevate community health outcomes in the communities we serve. 

Community health education is the provision of accurate and truthful information so that a person can become knowledgable about a the subject and make informed choices.  Health promotion and disease prevention programs focus on keeping people healthy.  Health promotion programs aim to engage and empower individuals and communities to choose healthy behaviors, and make changes that reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and other morbidities.
