THE ALIMA ASSOCIATION
The ALIMA SPIRIT: ALIMA’s purpose is to save lives and provide care for the most vulnerable populations, without any discrimination based on identity, religion or politics, through actions based on proximity, innovation, and the alliance of organizations and individuals. We act with humanity and impartiality in accordance with universal medical ethics. To gain access to patients, we undertake to act in a neutral and independent manner.
Our CHARTER defines the VALUES and PRINCIPLES of our action:
ALIMA promotes and defends the principles of fundamental human rights. ALIMA has a zero-tolerance approach to those guilty of acts of gender-based and sexual violence as well as to inaction in the face of alleged or proven acts of violence. Protecting the people who benefit and are impacted by our intervention is our top priority in everything we do. Anyone working with ALIMA is committed to :
CARING – INNOVATING – TOGETHER: Since its creation in 2009, ALIMA has treated more than 7 million patients. Today ALIMA works in 12 countries in Western and Central Africa. In 2020, we developed 41 humanitarian medical response projects to meet the needs of populations affected by conflict, epidemics and extreme poverty. All of these projects support national health authorities through nearly 357 health structures (including 45 hospitals and 312 health centers). We work in partnership, especially with local NGOs, whenever possible to ensure that our patients benefit from the expertise wherever it is, whether in their country or the rest of the world. In addition, to improve the humanitarian response, we are carrying out operational and clinical research projects, particularly in the field of the fight against malnutrition and hemorrhagic viral fevers. ALIMA is also leading operations in response to the covid-19 pandemic across all of our missions.
ALIMA’S TEAM: More than 2000 people currently work for ALIMA. The field teams, as close as possible to the patients, receive their support from the coordination teams generally based in the capitals of the countries of intervention. These receive support from the 4 desk teams and the emergency and opening service team based at the operational headquarters in Dakar, Senegal. The Paris and New York teams are actively working on fundraising as well as representing ALIMA. The rest of the ALIMA Galaxy includes individuals and partner teams who work on behalf of other organizations such as medical NGOs BEFEN, ALERTE Santé, SOS Médecins / KEOOGO, AMCP, research organizations PACCI, INSERM, Universities of Bordeaux or Copenhagen, the NGO Solidarités International and many others.

ALIMA IN SUDAN
ALIMA has been present in Sudan since 2021 with projects in South Kordofan and Khartoum states responding to urgent health and nutrition needs of populations affected by conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic. In 20222, ALIMA in coordination with the Ministry of Health (MOH) intervened in two localities in South Kordofan supporting Kadugli Teaching Hospital Maternity and Pediatric Units, two Primary Healthcare Centers (PHC) and mobile clinics, including rapid response mobile clinic for the influx of IDPs at Kadugli Bus Station IDP Camp. ALIMA also strengthened capacity for optimal case management of severe COVID-19 cases by increasing access to medical oxygen at Al Shaab Teaching Hospital, a 350 bed specialist hospital designated as a COVID-19 Treatment Center in Khartoum. ALIMA installed a PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) Oxygen Plant delivering medical oxygen directly to operating theater and general wards. Additionally, ALIMA conducted training with MOH staff on oxygen therapy for optimal case management and on preventive and curative maintenance of key biomedical equipment.
Since the escalation of conflict in April 2023, ALIMA has been responding to the emergency health and nutrition needs in South Kordofan and is in the process of opening a new project in North Darfur. ALIMA plans to scale up emergency response for the influx of internally displaced persons (IDPs) El Fasher, North Darfur with support to primary health care facilities in IDP Camps, a nutrition Stabilization Center, and mobile clinics. In South Kordofan, ALIMA continues to support life saving healthcare at Kaduli Teaching Hospital, 2 PHCs, and mobile clinics. ALIMA will implement additional nutrition activities by establishing outpatient therapeutic programs (OTPs) to treat severe acute malnutrition at all supported health facilities in 2023.
