IMI is a US-based charity that was founded in a basement of a New York home some thirty years back. A group of like-minded fellows, having full commitment to serve humanity, generously pooled whatever spare money they had to form IMI as the scope of its charitable work kept on extending with the passage of time.
At present hundreds of doctors, scientists, professionals, volunteers associated with IMI have been serving humanity round-the-clock through 75 projects in over 17 countries, including an extremely active chapter in Pakistan. IMI’s humanitarian services stand for serving the people free of charge without any discrimination on the basis of religion, race, and color.
