IMA was established by several Christian groups to collect and distribute medical goods for overseas use. They serve through two main programs. (1) General Inventory—this means that one may get whatever necessary medicines they have available in stock for a nominal packing and handling fee. (2) Their IMA Medicine Box is pre-packed with 17 of the most essential medicines and supplies for subsistence health care. Its cost is much less than wholesale value. Applicants need to give IMA at least four weeks notice. IMA chose its new name in 2007 because they have expanded their outreach to include technical assistance and other projects to help deal with several of the most significant diseases in developing countries.
