IME's mission is to bring together healthcare professionals, policymakers, educators, entrepreneurs, industry leaders, and ICT experts from Africa, the U.S., and the African Diaspora to design and implement innovative and effective programs to enhance and extend healthcare delivery in Africa and underserved communities in the U.S.

Public, private and academic partnerships are a vital mechanism for African countries to address their multifaceted healthcare challenges successfully.

The convergence of medical and information technology, the evolution of international policies, and changes in the public/private funding environment represent historic opportunities.

IME is open to assisting and working with African governments in developing their capacity to achieve decent and adequate healthcare services, particularly in underserved communities.
