EXHIBITORS

Americares Medical Outreach Program

THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 12:00-12:55PM: Meet with Americares

Americares is a health-focused relief and development organization that saves lives and improves health for people affected by poverty or disaster. Each year, Americares reaches 90 countries on average, including the United States, with life-changing health programs, medicine, medical supplies, and emergency aid. Americares is the world’s leading nonprofit provider of donated medicine and medical supplies.

Each year, Americares Medical Outreach Program supports volunteer medical teams making 1,000 trips a year to more than 75 countries with medicine, supplies and educational resources. These medical teams provide primary care, perform surgeries, respond to emergencies and strengthen local health care capacity in communities where even basic medical care is often non-existent or inaccessible.

As the coronavirus began to spread across the globe in early 2020, Americares dedicated every resource to save lives and slow transmission, especially among people in low-income communities, who continue to be at greatest risk. To accomplish this, we invested in three key areas: access to critical supplies; access to ongoing health services; and access to skills through education, including credible safety information and training for health workers. 

As the pandemic enters its second year, Americares will continue to address gaps that most affect disadvantaged communities.
