Clinton Bush Haiti Fund Awards International Medical Corps $500,000 for Emergency
Medical Care and Long-Term Rebuilding

February 25, 2010, Los Angeles, Calif. – International Medical Corps has been awarded
$500,000 from the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund for operation of mobile medical units throughout the
earthquake-ravaged country.

“We are tremendously grateful to the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund for its critical and timely support of
our programs in Haiti – support that is saving countless lives every day,” said Nancy A. Aossey,
President and CEO of International Medical Corps. “As we begin to transition from the initial
emergency to providing longer term relief and training, our outreach into the community through
mobile and static clinics is essential to reaching the hardest hit and most vulnerable populations
who might not otherwise receive care. The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund’s support helps us ensure
that the people of Haiti have the best chance at recovering, rebuilding and becoming self-
reliant.”

More than a month after the quake killed an estimated 200,000 people and displaced more than
a million others International Medical Corps continues to expand its relief operations. Today,
they include mobile and fixed sites throughout the quake-affected areas, treating more than
1,000 patients a day.

International Medical Corps was on the ground treating patients in Haiti 22 hours after the 7.0
earthquake struck on January 12. With an immediate base of operations out of the National
University Hospital in Port-au-Prince, International Medical Corps has served as a lead agency
coordinating NGO and volunteer activity at the hospital. Today, approximately 20 of its volunteer
doctors and nurses provide day and night coverage in the ER, pediatrics, surgical and other
units.

Beyond the capital, International Medical Corps, with support from the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund,
is operating 15 mobile clinic sites throughout the broader earthquake-affected areas - including
Port-au-Prince, Petionville, Carrefour, Petit Goave, Miragoane and Gressier. Teams are
delivering health care services and training, including maternal/child health; nutrition; mental
health; water/sanitation/hygiene; as well as communicable disease surveillance and public
health precautionary messages.

International Medical Corps will continue to focus its efforts in Haiti on delivering emergency
assistance with an eye to long-term recovery.

International Medical Corps relieves the suffering of those impacted by war, natural disaster and
disease, by delivering vital health care services that focus on training, helping devastated
populations return to self-reliance. Visit www.imcworldwide.org.
