Who We Are
Care Advocacy International is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming healthcare access for vulnerable populations worldwide. Founded in 2010, we bring together healthcare professionals, community advocates, and local partners to create lasting change.
Our team of over 500 dedicated staff members and 2,000+ volunteers work tirelessly across continents to ensure that healthcare is not a privilege, but a fundamental human right. We believe in a holistic approach that addresses not just immediate medical needs, but also the social, economic, and environmental factors that impact health outcomes.
Operating in some of the world's most challenging environments—from refugee camps to remote rural villages—we've learned that sustainable change requires deep community engagement, cultural sensitivity, and long-term commitment. Every program we launch is designed in partnership with local communities, ensuring that our interventions are appropriate, effective, and sustainable.
What We Do
We operate 23 permanent clinics, 15 mobile health units, and countless outreach programs that bring medical care directly to those who need it most. Our services include primary care, maternal health, chronic disease management, emergency response, and specialized pediatric care. In 2023 alone, we provided over 380,000 medical consultations.
We train local healthcare workers, community health advocates, and volunteers to ensure sustainable, long-term impact in the communities we serve. Our comprehensive training programs cover clinical skills, patient advocacy, public health, and health system management. We've established 8 regional training centers that serve as hubs for ongoing professional development.
We work with governments and international bodies to advocate for policies that improve healthcare access and protect the rights of vulnerable populations. Our advocacy team has successfully influenced health policy in 18 countries, securing increased funding for public health programs and expanding insurance coverage for millions of previously uninsured individuals.
We collaborate with over 200 local organizations, faith groups, and community leaders to design culturally appropriate health interventions that meet real needs. These partnerships ensure our programs are rooted in local knowledge and traditions, making them more effective and sustainable. We invest heavily in strengthening local health systems rather than creating parallel structures.
