International Medical Outreach was organized on May 17, 1993 for humanitarian purposes. IMO’s resources are made available to the needy without regard to race, religion, creed, sex, or color on a charitable not-for-profit basis. Congruent with that, IMO attempts to follow the example of Jesus Christ, “in as much as you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me.”

IMO follows this creed by establishing and assisting existing medical clinics, orphanages, feeding centers, drug rehabilitation projects and teaching centers among other humanitarian efforts. IMO has collected, sorted and shipped new and used medical equipment worth millions of dollars all over the world and has provided volunteer professionals on an as-needed basis.

All proceeds garnered by IMO are reinvested into projects of a humanitarian nature. No resources of IMO benefit officers or directors of the corporation, whereas all resources of IMO do benefit those in need.

IMO is currently directed by its president and founder, Todd Price, a medical doctor board-certified in Infectious Disease.

Our Programs

IMO desires to concentrate on efforts towards relief of infectious diseases, including malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, pneumonia, diarrhea among others. Yet as medicine cannot be totally regimented, other disciplines of healthcare have, and will continue to be addressed.

• School Exam Program – Nairobi City Ministry of Health approached IMO in 2006 to develop a school-based health maintenance program. IMO-sponsored medical teams have therefore examined, vaccinated and medicated thousands of Kenyan slum children (most of whom have never before been seen by a physician).
• HIV/AIDS Orphan Program – In 2007, IMO initiated an HIV management program to oversee the administration of antiretroviral medications along with appropriate laboratory monitoring and other associated medical interventions for HIV positive abandoned children in Dagoretti slum, located just outside of Nairobi. IMO’s goal is to provide the same standard of medical care comparable to any location in the world.
• HIV Baby Center – Field visits by IMO sponsored architects and contractors have laid the groundwork for a center in San Pedro Sula, Honduras, sanctioned by the First Lady of Honduras with anticipated opening in 2008. The target patient population is HIV positive orphans, infants and children.
• HIV Mobile Program – In early 2007, IMO initiated a program in the Nairobi slums to provide medical oversight of severely ill home-bound patients living with HIV/AIDS.
• Emergency Relief Program – In cooperation with local healthcare authorities and other humanitarian organizations, emergency medications and medical supplies have been provided to areas of disaster and natural calamities.
• Feeding Program – Nutritional programs have been an integral part of IMO’s medical efforts over the years. Feeding centers have been funded in Peru, Ukraine, Ecuador, Uganda, Philippines, and Tanzania.
• Vaccination Program – In 2006, IMO’s vaccination program was initiated in conjunction with the School Exam Program in Kenya. In light of the very poor living conditions, typhoid vaccinations have been provided to thousands of Nairobi slum children.
• Surgery Program – IMO surgeons have operated in Kenya, Ukraine, Honduras, Guatemala, and Ecuador. Although most of these efforts are based in the recipient country, one Kenyan boy who was attacked by wild dogs after his abandonment on a garbage heap shortly after birth was airlifted to the USA in 2006. He continues to benefit from reconstructive surgeries, and now has a new ear.
• Distribution Program – IMO’s warehouse in Houston continues to collect, repackage and redistribute medical supplies, medical equipment and instrumentation, for destinations around the globe.
• Public Health Awareness – IMO has included public health instruction in conjunction with other programs. However, IMO has also established a weekly health awareness radio broadcast in Ukraine, specific to the medical needs of the region.
• Shoe Program – To decrease medical problems associated with bare feet or poorly protected feet, IMO has established a program in which hundreds of indigent Kenyan children have been given a thorough foot washing and a brand new pair of shoes and socks (often, the first non-hand-me-downs they had ever received).
• Deworming Program – In 2006 IMO’s efforts assisted in deworming over thirteen million children in eight different countries. This has been greatly expanded and in the last few weeks of 2007, IMO alone has delivered enough medications to deworm one million in Chihuahua, Mexico; one million in Guayaquil, Ecuador; and one million in the Peruvian Amazon.
