ALIMA, the international medical NGO with a human face, which places at the heart of its model the co-construction of projects and professional paths

The ALIMA SPIRIT: ALIMA’s purpose is to save lives and provide care for the most vulnerable populations, without any discrimination based on identity, religion or politics, through actions based on proximity, innovation, and the alliance of organizations and individuals. We act with humanity and impartiality in accordance with universal medical ethics. To gain access to patients, we undertake to act in a neutral and independent manner.

Our CHARTER defines the VALUES and PRINCIPLES of our action:

  1. Patient First – Patient centered medical care
  2. Revolutionizing humanitarian medicine through research
  3. Responsibility and freedom: encourage decision-making by those closest to patients
  4. Commitment to a dynamic of continuous quality improvement
  5. Creating a climate of trust among colleagues
  6. Collective intelligence
  7. Environmental liability

ALIMA promotes and defends the principles of fundamental human rights. ALIMA has a zero-tolerance approach to those guilty of acts of gender-based and sexual violence as well as to inaction in the face of alleged or proven acts of violence. Protecting the people who benefit and are impacted by our intervention is our top priority in everything we do. Anyone working with ALIMA is committed to :

  • Respect the charter, the code of conduct, institutional policies including the policy of protection against abuses of power and gender-based and sexual violence, the policy of preventing corruption and fraud ;
  • Report any violations to policies, framework documents and proceedings to a superior, referral

CARING - INNOVATING - TOGETHER:

Since its creation in 2009, ALIMA has treated more than 10 million patients. Today ALIMA works in 12 countries in Western and Central Africa. In 2020, we developed 41 humanitarian medical response projects to meet the needs of populations affected by conflict, epidemics and extreme poverty. All of these projects support national health authorities through nearly 357 health structures (including 45 hospitals and 312 health centers). We work in partnership, especially with local NGOs, whenever possible to ensure that our patients benefit from the expertise wherever it is, whether in their country or the rest of the world. In addition, to improve the humanitarian response, we are carrying out operational and clinical research projects, particularly in the field of the fight against malnutrition and hemorrhagic viral fevers. ALIMA is also leading operations in response to the covid-19 pandemic across all of our missions.

ALIMA’S TEAM: More than 2000 people currently work for ALIMA. The field teams, as close as possible to the patients, receive their support from the coordination teams generally based in the capitals of the countries of intervention. These receive support from the 4 desk teams and the emergency and opening service team based at the operational headquarters in Dakar, Senegal. The Paris and New York teams are actively working on fundraising as well as 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, Universities of Bordeaux or Copenhagen, the NGO Solidarités International and many others.

ALIMA in South Sudan

Between 2017 and 2021, ALIMA (The Alliance for International Medical Action) carried out several projects in South Sudan, particularly in Raja and Wau (Western Bahr El Ghazal), Aweil (Northern Bahr El Ghazal), and Juba. In Raja and Wau, with support from AFD, ECHO, GiA, OFDA, and Vitol, ALIMA partnered with Solidarités International to provide inpatient care (IPD/ITFC), support primary healthcare centers (PHCC/PHCU), and operate mobile clinics. In Aweil, through funding from UNICEF, CDS, and the ELMA Foundation, ALIMA offered support to fixed health facilities in Halibol and Maper West and led a malaria response during peak transmission periods. Lastly, in Juba, with backing from ECHO and the CDC—and in collaboration with GOAL and Concern Worldwide—ALIMA focused on Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) preparedness as well as COVID-19 prevention and response efforts. In March 2025, an assessment mission was conducted in Juba and Aweil, in order to better understand current needs and have an overview of ALIMA’s status in the country… Given ALIMA’s mission, we focused on humanitarian needs in terms of health, by identifying the most vulnerable populations and the obstacles restricting access to health services. What emerged from our assessments was an acute need for healthcare workers and therefore a strong desire to intervene as soon as possible to respond to the growing needs. The outcome of the assessment mission resulted to the reopening of the South Sudan mission in June 2025
