International Medical Crisis Response Alliance
2005: Christmas Tsunami
Following the devastating 2004 South Asian tsunami, IMCRA staff joined a relief mission to Sumatra and Nias. While our on-site efforts provided immediate aid, the temporary nature of the
mission left a lasting impact on us. This experience inspired the vision of a permanent, online medical resource to serve affected communities.
Key Highlights:
-
On-site emergency response in Sumatra and Nias
-
Appreciation of the importance of cultural sensitivity and language in medical treatment
-
Recognition of the need for ongoing support and an online interactive medical platform
