ALIMA PRESENTATION

THE ALIMA SPIRIT: ALIMA's raison d'être is to save lives and care for the most vulnerable populations, without any identity, religious or political discrimination, through actions based on proximity, innovation and the alliance of organizations and individuals. We act with humanism, impartiality and respect for universal medical ethics. To access patients, we are committed to intervening in a neutral and independent manner.

THE VALUES and PRINCIPLES of our action, inscribed in our CHARTER:

1. The patient first

2. Revolutionizing humanitarian medicine

3. Responsibility and freedom

4. Improve the quality of our actions

5. To trust

6. Collective intelligence

7. Environmental responsibility

ALIMA promotes and defends the principles of fundamental human rights. ALIMA has a zero tolerance approach towards people guilty of sexist and sexual violence as well as towards inaction in the face of alleged or proven acts of violence. The protection of people benefiting and impacted by our intervention is our top priority in everything we do. Everyone who collaborates with ALIMA undertakes to:

• Respect the charter, the code of conduct, the institutional policies including the policy of protection against abuse of power and gender-based and sexual violence, the policy of prevention of corruption and fraud;

• Report any violation of policies, framework documents and procedures to a superior, a referent or a referent.

TREAT - INNOVATE - TOGETHER: Since its creation in 2009, ALIMA has treated more than 13 million patients in 15 countries, and now deploys its operations in 12 countries in Africa and Haiti. In 2022, we developed 62 humanitarian medical response projects to meet the needs of populations affected by conflicts, epidemics and extreme poverty. All these projects are in support of the national health authorities through nearly 511 health structures. We work in partnership, especially with local NGOs, whenever possible to ensure that our patients benefit from the expertise, whether in their country or the rest of the world. In addition, to improve the humanitarian response, we conduct operational and clinical research projects, particularly to combat malnutrition and viral hemorrhagic fevers.

THE ALIMA TEAM: More than 2000 people currently work for ALIMA. Field teams, as close as possible to patients, receive their support from coordination teams, generally based in the capital of the countries of intervention. These receive the support of the 4 desk teams and the emergency and openings service team based at the operational headquarters in Dakar, Senegal. The Paris and New York teams are actively working on fundraising and representing ALIMA. The rest of the ALIMA Galaxy includes individuals and partner teams who work on behalf of other organizations such as medical NGOs BEFEN, ALERTE Santé, SOS Médecins / KEOOGO, AMCP, research organizations PACCI, INSERM, the Universities of Bordeaux or Copenhagen, the NGO Solidarités International and many others.
