Delivering Sustainable Medical Care in the World’s Least Developed Nations
#174 Great.com Talks With... International Medical Corps
In 1980, there were 133 recorded natural disasters. But in the past few years, we have seen those numbers almost triple. With climate change devastating vast swathes of our planet and bringing political instability with it, we must do our best to help those who are most vulnerable. In this episode we talked with Margaret Traub from International Medical Corps about the importance of the global humanitarian effort.
Offering Comprehensive Care
International Medical Corps works in crisis and conflict zones throughout the world to deliver vital medical aid and training. The organization takes a holistic view of healthcare; its medical staff - the vast majority of whom are from the countries they work in - deal with everything from infectious disease and sanitation to mental health. Margaret explains that the training it offers healthcare workers is what sets International Medical Corps apart, empowering local people to treat patients sustainably.
Listen to the whole interview to find out how International Medical Corps plans to keep its ear to the ground and remain agile as new crises emerge in the coming years. You can also read about their approach and donate.

Great.com is an innovative charity project working to move money from the online casino industry towards initiatives focused on preventing climate change. So far, Great.com has generated donations of over $1.3 million. This is done by competing with casinos in Google search rankings for online gaming signups coming from search terms such as New Jersey Online Casino and online casino bonus and promo code. The profits this generates are then donated to causes working to stop global warming, rather than being reinvested into the casino industry.
