CARE – INNOVATE – TOGETHER: Since its creation in 2009, ALIMA has treated more than 10 million patients, and today deploys its operations in 12 African countries as well as in Ukraine. In 2022, we have developed more than 62 humanitarian medical response projects to meet the needs of populations affected by conflicts, epidemics and extreme poverty. All of these projects are carried out in support of national health authorities through nearly 511 health structures. We often work in partnership with local NGOs to ensure that our patients benefit from expertise wherever it is, whether in their country or in the rest of the world. In addition, to improve the humanitarian response, we conduct operational and clinical research projects, in particular to combat malnutrition and viral hemorrhagic fevers.
THE ALIMA TEAM: More than 1,800 people currently work for ALIMA. The field teams, closest to patients, receive their support from the coordination teams based in the capitals of the countries of intervention and at the operational headquarters in Dakar, Senegal. Teams in Paris, Dakar, London and New York are actively working on fundraising as well as representing ALIMA.
