NYCMedics rapidly deploys emergency medical teams that provide the highest level of care to people who would otherwise not have access to relief efforts. We build sustainable prehospital and emergency medical systems and disaster preparedness infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries. We also partner with local nonprofit organizations to lend our expertise and resources to assist vulnerable populations isolated by geographical and economic barriers.
We get boots on the ground in the hours after a disaster, confirm what medical care is needed, and make those resources available.
We build infrastructure and equip communities with the skills and knowledge they need to setup prehospital and emergency medical services.
We provide adaptable global health programming to address gaps in ongoing humanitarian relief efforts.
