Our expertise
ALIMA responds to humanitarian crises in regions facing conflict, epidemics, malnutrition, and other emergency situations, where medical needs are most urgent. We combine emergency care with long-term research projects to develop new solutions and sustainably improve healthcare for at-risk populations.
A fast and efficient response through our local network
During crises—whether malnutrition, epidemics, conflict, or natural disasters—national health systems can become strained, putting lives at risk. Thanks to our NGO partners and local teams (95% of our staff are from the countries where we operate), ALIMA quickly delivers high-quality, adaptable care.
Women and children are often the most vulnerable during humanitarian crises, accounting for 80% of our beneficiaries. That’s why we partner with local and national authorities to provide free prevention, nutrition, pediatrics care, and maternal health programs to address their specific needs.
Sustainable impact through innovation and partnership
Since our creation, ALIMA has been committed to providing emergency medical care while transforming humanitarian intervention through sustainable approaches. By working closely with local authorities, partners, and international experts, we deliver healthcare solutions adapted to each crisis while building long-term community resilience.
