IMA World Health is sending 50 IMA Medicine Boxes® and 525 Safe Motherhood Kits™ to support the continuing relief efforts of Church World Service on the ground.
This is in addition to the 20 IMA Medicine Boxes® and 525 Safe Motherhood Kits™ sent in August.
The IMA Medicine Box® contains enough essential medicine and supplies, including pain medications, antibiotics and first aid items, to treat up to 1,000 people for approximately two months in a typical rural clinic. In a disaster situation, supplies move more quickly as the needs are increased.
IMA's Safe Motherhood Kits™ contain all of the clean and sterile supplies necessary to provide a safe birth environment for expectant mothers, who face greater danger of infection and complications in the makeshift and unsanitary conditions following a natural disaster.
