History of the International Medical Association (IMA)
The International Medical Association (IMA) was founded in 1867 by physician Henri Giutrac. The association was created with the aim of promoting communication and cooperation within the global medical community, facilitating the sharing of medical knowledge, and providing a platform for collaboration and discussion among medical experts from different countries. The IMA is dedicated to advancing medical progress and innovation worldwide through the regular hosting of International Medical Congresses.
The International Medical Congresses, one of the main activities of the IMA, bring together medical professionals from around the world to discuss the latest research findings, technological advancements, and clinical applications in the field of medicine. The influence of the IMA has grown with the hosting of these congresses, making it an important event in the global medical community.
The goals of the IMA extend beyond promoting medical research and clinical progress; it also focuses on enhancing global healthcare standards and improving the efficiency of public health systems. The organization’s members include medical professionals from various countries, all working together to foster medical scientific exchange and innovation.
As time has passed, the mission of the IMA has evolved. Today, it is not only an organization for medical research and education but also actively participates in global health policy discussions and plays a positive role in areas such as public health, health policy, and medical ethics.
