International Medical Corps UK

It’s Volunteer Week! Volunteers played a major part in our origin story. In 1984, founder Dr. Bob Simon led a group of volunteers who trained Afghan civilians as medics so they could treat people in their communities. Today, our volunteers still provide emergency medical care and training.
