🫶 IVMC tickets are FREE, but we suggest an optional donation to WHO Foundation Ukraine Appeal or International Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Campaign

Why?

We have always tried to be a team with a heart and tried to "do the right thing". We have traditionally supported a charity with IVMC. As we've watched events unfold in Ukraine we feel like we as a team we should support our colleagues in any small way we can through charitable donations in lieu of ticket fees for IVMC.

We have fellow humans who have lost everything, and we have civilian healthcare colleagues who will be dealing with horrific scenes in the most challenging circumstances they have ever faced.

For April's conference we have decided that we will be requesting delegates contribute to the WHO Foundation Ukraine Appeal or the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Campaign to support our international patients and colleagues. We would be grateful if you could consider giving generously. All payments are handled directly by the WHO and the Red Cross.
