Première Urgence - Aide Médicale Internationale | Premiere Urgence & AMI Now One Orgaznization

PREMIERE URGENCE
AIDE MEDICAL INTERNATIONAL

In early April 2011, two French NGOs join forces to become one and the same
association, Premiere Urgence - Aide Médicale Internationale (AMI-PU).
This new NGO has a goal: to meet all basic needs of populations affected
by humanitarian crises.
A novel approximation

In the sphere of French NGOs, the approximation of a medical association and
a humanitarian emergency is a novel approach that will enable Premiere Urgence
- AMI to respond more effectively to the needs of vulnerable populations but
also benefit from a stronger voice to assert the rights of victims of
humanitarian crises.
Rescue and rebuild

Natural disasters, armed conflicts and situations of economic collapse are all
crises that affect millions of people, depriving them of their rights: self-care,
food, shelter ... With complementary expertise of each association, PU-AMI will
provide comprehensive response to people in emergency situations and work with
them to the crisis on their return to independence.
Our actions

PU-AMI operates today in 16 countries to implement programs in the areas of health,
food security, nutrition, water and sanitation, camp management, reconstruction and
economic recovery. All these projects can help to more than 2 million people worldwide.
Our History

Founded in 1992, Premiere Urgence has conducted operations in over 38 countries to
help populations affected by conflict and natural disasters. A direct and concrete
that passes through the implementation of programs of distributions, agricultural
recovery and economic recovery, water and sanitation, rehabilitation and reconstruction.

Founded in 1979, AMI has been involved in over 28 countries to restore access to
healthcare for populations excluded from any health care system through the
implementation of medical programs (health care and primary school, PMI Nutrition
HIV, Mental Health, Community Development ...) with a constant concern for training
local health care.
