Who We Are • American Medicine For All (AMFA) is an American humanitarian non-profit organization designed to share the wealth of America’s achievements in the health care and medical technology with needy people around the world. • America, that may be described as the fruit of human civilization, can and should play a distinguished and unique role in today’s world. It can make a life-giving difference to people of other nations. • The AMFA project is a practical way to extend our help to other nations by providing free medical care to needy people all around the world.

America Can Help America has a lot to offer the world, let’s share! America ranks at the top of the world for its achievements in science and technology. The clear evidence is that American doctors are permanent winners of Noble Prize in Medicine.
American Doctors Are Ready and Willing to Help Abroad • Hundreds of doctors go abroad yearly with organizations and many more are ready and willing to go if given the opportunity.
American Economy is the Largest in the World • America is the richest country in the world and its economy is the biggest as well. American companies have a lot of extra medical equipment, that is obsolete in the United States due to advancements in technology, to give out and they generously donate tons of them to other organizations in our neighborhood.
American companies who arrange for medical supplies to be sent abroad: • Rotary International • MedShare • International Medical Corps • MedWish International • Partner’s in Health • Alliance for Smiles • Global Health Ministries
The BenefitsHelping Needy People By assisting needy people, the United States plays the unique role the world expects to see and shows the philanthropic character of our nation. By healing their loved ones, America brings happiness to thousands of families around the world.
Loss of world wide support • The image of the United States has been damaged over the last decade. Surveys conducted in numerous of foreign countries show how America lost sympathy, support and even respect of our close allies in Europe and other countries of the world. People overseas perceive that America sends only military support abroad.
Messengers of Hope and Peace • By providing free medical care to needy people in foreign countries, American doctors will convey a message of hope, peace and friendship, which will bring love and respect to our nation and greatly help improve the image of the United States.
The BenefitsCreating Volunteering Opportunities • AMFA creates opportunities for our kind doctors to reach the needy people they intend to help. • Medical students participating in AMFA would gain practical experience in medicine. • This unique opportunity allows volunteers to experience how other people live and to learn more about their cultures as they provide them with needed medical care.
Why American Medicine For All? • America is well known as a super power. But its philanthropic actions toward poor nations especially in the medical care is invisible. Presently, hundreds of American doctors actively participate in international organizations such as Doctors Without Borders. But this organization was created in France and the recipients of its services around the world look at it as a French or European organization. The international organizations receive big support from our community, but America remains invisible and does not receive the equal thanks and respect it deserves.
AMFA will put an American label on the generous efforts our troops of mercy and compassion make to save lives of children, mothers, elderly men and women and draw smiles on the faces of tens of thousands of people around the world. AMFA is the RIGHT RESPONSE at the RIGHT TIME
