International Medical Corps (Cameroon)

International Medical Corps began working in Cameroon in 2008 in response to an influx of refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR) along Cameroon’s eastern border. Today, Cameroon hosts more than 439,000 refugees and 321,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Far North region and another 439,000 IDPs in the Northwest and Southwest regions.

International Medical Corps is working in refugee camps and with some of the most vulnerable populations in six regions in Cameroon—Far North, North, Adamawa, Northwest, East and Littoral—to implement health programs that include disease surveillance, nutrition activities, gender-based violence (GBV) response, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) and child protection.
