The Real Medicine Foundation provides humanitarian support to people living in disaster, post-war, and poverty stricken areas. We believe that "real" medicine is focused on the person as a whole by providing physical, emotional, economic, and social support. By using a personal approach, Real Medicine forms partnerships with individuals and existing organizations throughout the world, allowing us to create effective models and sustainable solutions that can be applied globally. What started out as a promise to a small village in a devastated area on the Indian Ocean is growing quickly into an international network of "Friends helping Friends" around the world.
