Worldwide Service Starts With Locals.
We’re committed to helping people on their worst days—international borders don’t get in the way of that. We respond to the requests of our partners in countries around the world, show up ready to serve, and follow their lead.
-
Medical Assistance
From primary healthcare in resource-challenged nations to acute trauma care after conflict and crises, our Greyshirts provide crucial medical services based on the scenario and the need.
-
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene
Disasters and crises often deplete natural resources and compromise sanitary and hygienic systems. Our Greyshirts on the ground partner with public leaders to support their Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) goals.
-
Disaster Risk Reduction
Our team works with local communities to provide both classroom and hands-on training to urban and rural healthcare providers, customized to their needs and designed to strengthen their capacity for response to health emergencies.
Our Global Network Enables Specialized Response.
The experts on our International team work tirelessly to co-create practical programs with long-term impact on the communities we serve. As the first NGO in North America and only the 18th globally to receive EMT Type 1 Mobile verification, we put our experience to work through immediate responses and proactive programs in hard-to-reach areas.

Partnering Locally. Working Together.
When global communities need support, our emergency-trained team will partner with local organizations and leaders to not just assist but also co-create programming based on their needs, and increase local capacity for communities to self-sustain after we leave.
Skills & Specialties Put to the Test.
To be most effective in our response, we use highly specialized experts on international operations. You’ll see qualified medical professionals, first responders, emergency managers, and leaders, all having undergone intensive training to operate in austere environments.
We’re Calling On People Like You.

Medical Providers
If you have the heart to help and a mind for medicine, find rewarding service in healing people during crises and building more resilient health systems before and after. You may administer pediatric care one minute, respond to a trauma injury the next, but provide essential support all the while.
