Program Description (Background)
International Medical Corps is a global, humanitarian,
nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering
through health care training and relief and development programs. Established
in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, International Medical Corps is a
private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization. Its mission is to
improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities
that build local capacity in underserved communities worldwide. By offering
training and health care to local populations and medical assistance to people
at highest risk, and with the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency
situations, International Medical Corps rehabilitates devastated health care
systems and helps bring them back to self-reliance
This project aims to strengthen childhood immunization in
Yemen, with a key focus on improving polio vaccination coverage through
enhanced community awareness, social and behavioral change communication
(SBCC), and active contact tracing. Given Yemen’s fragile health system and low
routine immunization rates, the project targets high-risk and underserved
communities where misinformation, vaccine hesitancy, and access barriers
persist. Community health volunteers (CHVs) and outreach teams will be trained
to deliver targeted SBCC interventions using culturally appropriate tools to
build trust, dispel myths, and encourage timely vaccination. The project will
also strengthen real-time contact tracing for missed children and suspected
polio cases, linking them to nearby health facilities or mobile outreach units.
Local leaders and influencers will be engaged to promote community acceptance
and sustained behavior change. The combined strategy will close immunization
gaps, improve community trust in vaccines, and contribute to preventing polio
resurgence and other vaccine-preventable diseases in Yemen.
