About action medeor
Emergency and disaster relief
In cases of emergency, medical aid can be speedily delivered to a disaster area, thanks to a permanent supply of 300.000 units of medicine in our well-equipped 4.000 m2 warehouse and to support our reliable local partners.
medeor stocks Emergency Health Kits, ready for speedy shipment. These emergency packages, which weigh about 900 kilos, can provide up to 10.000 people with medical supplies for three months. medeor provides special nutrition for victims in famine areas.
Health care projects
In co-operation with experienced local non-governmental organisations, action medeor handles its own health care projects in Latin America and Africa. Here we support the establishment of healthcare centres and the education and training of local qualified personnel. These health care workers then can provide medical care for others as well as information regarding prevention and treatment of dangerous diseases. In all our projects we aim to contribute to a sustainable development.
Pharmaceutical medical expertise
A further goal is the strengthening of local structures in the poor countries of the world and that's why action medeor runs training courses for pharmaceutical personnel. medeor supports the local development and production of drugs and collaborates in this section with local manufacturers. This guarantees a better availability of drugs and reduces the dependency of the developing countries on expensive imports.
