This delegation's primary purpose is to provide medical services during Arbaeen. The situation in Iraq is constantly shifting and volatile. You must be flexible with regards to planning and logistics including accommodations, transportation, electricity and other local needs/arrangements. Things constantly change on the ground and our baseline requirement is for all delegates to be patient, flexible and work together despite very intense and challenging conditions. Also please note, while our priority is to serve the health needs of the people in Iraq, should the situation in Iraq deteriorate, plans for Abraeen will be modified based on local risk assessments and security concerns.

Join Us for the 11th Annual Arbaeen Medical Mission:

After ten years of providing free healthcare and medicines during Arbaeen with expanding services at medical camps near the Shrines of Imam Hussain (A.S), Hazrat Abbas (A.S) and Imam Ali (A.S), IMI is pleased to announce we will be adding to these once again:

IMI's 11th Annual Arbaeen Medical Mission will include increased Emergency Services, as well as an International Health Conference with training programs and workshops during this time.

The international health conference would include medical education, skills workshop and trainings in range of medical topics, and help take our existing work of training and mentoring students through the medical camps even further.

Of course, our plans for this year also continue to include medical services in Karbala through 2 medical camps near the Haram of Imam Hussain (A.S.) and the Haram of Hazrat Abbas (A.S.), and one medical camp in Najaf as well where IMI will once again run a 4-day medical camp at the Haram of Imam Ali (A.S.) during the Shahadat of Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and Imam Hassan (A.S.). At each of these locations, teams will operate in groups by shifts. Each camp will also have separate care areas for men and women. Applications are welcome from all health professionals as well as non-health professionals (for selected administrative roles).

DATES:

• October 9 - 23 (Karbala Camp only)
• October 9 - 30 (Karbala & Najaf Camps)
• October 22 - 30 (Najaf Camp only)

(Pending ongoing assessment of crisis, security & logistics.)
