International Mutual Aid (IMA) is a Maryland 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit organization working to provide disaster and emergency medical assistance to underserved populations outside of the USA.[1][2]

International Mutual Aid was founded in November 2014 in response to the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa. IMA deployed a medical team to Kono District, Sierra Leone in December 2014.

This team remained in place for the duration of the Kono Ebola epidemic, coordinating with local resources to run a free primary care clinic, conduct Ebola surveillance, contact tracing, initial treatment for suspect Ebola cases, and provide public education.[3]

International Mutual Aid is engaged in Ebola recovery efforts in Kono, including the construction of a clean water project in Mofinko Section.[3]
