Since 1964, action medeor has been active worldwide to protect the health of people in crisis and emergency situations. To do this, 'the world's emergency pharmacy' supplies healthcare facilities with medical supplies and strengthens healthcare and healthy living conditions in disadvantaged regions through long-term projects.

In the event of a disaster, action medeor immediately contacts its local partners and can initiate meaningful and life-saving aid measures within the shortest possible time.

For example, medical supplies are delivered from the 4,000 m² medicine warehouse in Tönisvorst, North Rhine-Westphalia, where action medeor permanently stocks essential medicines and medical equipment. After providing acute medical care, action medeor supports local forces in rebuilding destroyed health structures.

Responsible handling of donations

The most important asset of an aid organisation is the trust of its donors. This is why action medeor fulfils the high requirements of the DZI Donation Seal of Approval, the German Donations Council and the Civil Society Initiative.

Interested parties can also see the work of the 'emergency pharmacy of the world' for themselves on site in Tönisvorst, for example during the guided tours that we regularly offer.
