International Medical Crisis Response Alliance
IMCRA Provides Educational Resources and More
We have a 4 phased approach to program development and delivery.
Phase One: Assessment and Outreach
IMCRA uncovers gaps for both provider and patient and then mobilizes resources appropriate to the specific region and nation. Once done we initiate collaborative outreach efforts with local agencies.
Phase Two: Content Creation
IMCRA personnel consult with international medical experts and create content that can be immediately integrated into local practice. Once developed, programs are recorded and posted for on-going access.
Phase Three: Activity Delivery
IMCRA delivers its educational programs and resources through web and mobile platforms using lecture, live event, discussion and print formats.
Phase Four: Measurement and Reporting
IMCRA collects data on program effectiveness and its utility in regional practice. Learnings are shared both with participants and grantors
Recently we updated IMCRA's Gaza-Israel Conflict refugee portal with English and Arabic-language remedial medical modules targeted at both onsite practitioners and capable lay persons. We are in the midst of doing the same for our Ukraine Program. The link to the site is here:

The unfortunate and highly distressing reality of intensified international conflict in the 2020's has made these programs critical. In August IMCRA will augment these services further with our PIVAT (Prompt Intervention Volunteer Aid Tutorials) program which will enable persons at the site of an acute medical emergency to take properly vetted First Responder actions as appropriate using smartphone downloads .
​
IMCRA has also been active along with our NGO colleagues at the UN in the areas of misinformation/disinformation/propaganda, oceanic ecosystem health, protection of civilians in conflict zones, AI for good and in addressing the problem of antibiotic overuse.

Finally, we draw attention to the fact that on 11 September it will be 13.5 years since the great Tohoku earthquake/tsunami and 23 years since the the 911 WTC disaster in New York, both of which prompted and motivated the founding of our organization. We remember the victims and their families and rededicate ourselves to preventing and ameliorating the impact of such tragedies in future.
