Operational partners
Strong partnerships with local NGOs and research institutions.

The NGO is currently present in seven of the ten regions of Cameroon, with headquarters in Yaoundé, including two joint offices (ALIMA/DEMTOU) in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon.
Partners in medical research
By sharing resources and know-how, ALIMA and its partners are increasing access to care for communities at risk and expanding humanitarian medical response capacity in some of the most challenging contexts in the world.
ALIMA works hand-in-hand with a network of local and national medical organizations to provide life-saving care to some of the world’s most neglected communities. By sharing skills, resources and local knowledge, ALIMA gains a deeper understanding of the contexts where they work. This helps improve the acceptance and impact of their programs. ALIMA’s medical research priorities are determined by the network and benefit further from partnerships with international organizations and academic research institutions.
An independent medical NGO, ALIMA has made medical research one of the spearheads of its fight to transform humanitarian medicine. Member of the ALERRT and CORAL research platforms, ALIMA values partnership to advance the state of medical research in the field.
