The IMEC Five-Step Process

IMEC works with equipment donors, volunteers, shepherds (or project sponsors) and caregivers to fulfill its mission. The following is the IMEC Five-step process to project delivery:

STEP 1: Identification
A project is identified through a shepherding group currently working with a hospital or clinic. (i.e. an established humanitarian organization, in-country health system or service organization or church group) willing to support a project over a three - five year period.)

STEP 2: Assessment
A two-person IMEC assessment team visits the project facility. The team works with doctors and nurses in the hospital to develop an understanding of needs. This provides IMEC with the necessary information to insure that only appropriate medical tools are sent to the receiving hospital or clinic.

STEP 3: Fulfillment
IMEC matches each project's needs assessment with available medical tools and prepares a project report. The project report is reviewed by the shepherding organization. The items to be sent are prepared and made ready for delivery.

STEP 4: Delivery
All items are packaged and loaded into sea containers for shipment, and delivered directly to the receiving facility.

STEP 5: Installation
A volunteer project team travels to the facility to assist in installing the medical tools.
