Mission Statement: The IHC'S (a hospital without walls), mission is to provide healthcare to all children regardless of their social, ethnic, or religious background or status. We work to improve the quality of health for people living in developing countries and provide aid to victims of natural disasters, wars, and civil unrest. We solicit donations of medicine, supplies, and equipment from various companies, organizations, and private donors for shipment to recipient third world countries.

Long term Goals: To support a self-contained health care center in every country & to afford children around the world an opportunity for a full life.

Short term Goal: To solicit donations that will be used to provide and foster preventative health care.

• The IHC strives to meet goals by providing a three fold program to receipient countries:

  (1)Patient care

  The IHC has been instrumental in providing surgical care and medical treatment to over 500 children with congenital disorders, heart dseases, renal diseases and orthopedic deformities. Each child is placed with a host hospital and doctors in the US, who agree to donate their services. The Ihc finds a volunteer host family, transportation, and room and board for the period of the treatment.

  (2) Medical Mission Trips

  A volunteer medical team is sent to impoverished areas to assess the basic needs of the recipients. The team spends one week in the area performing minor surgery, making rounds and sharing teaching procedures.

  (3)Donations of Medical Supplies

  Since 1981, theihc has donated tons of medical equipment and supplies to deprived countries. We are constantly requesting donations of hospital equipment, surgical and medical supplies, medicine, and nutritional suppliments. Theihc certifies that all donated shipments to recipient countries is a gift and not to be given in exchange for monetary considerations.
