International Medical Corps: A Thousand Words

The World

For 25 years, International Medical Corps has been training doctors and providing medical care in some of the world’s most troubled places. Along the way, the group has collected photos from the field. Now, those photos have been published in a new book called A Thousand Words. We feature some favorites of Nancy Aossey, CEO of International Medical Corps.

Will you support The World?

Without federal support, local stations, especially in rural and underserved areas, face deep cuts or even closure. Vital public service alerts, news, storytelling, and programming like The World will be impacted. The World has weathered many storms, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to being your trusted source for human-centered international news, shared with integrity and care. We believe public media is about truth and access for all. As an independent, nonprofit newsroom, we aren’t controlled by billionaire owners or corporations. We are sustained by listeners like you.

Now more than ever, we need your help to support our global reporting work and power the future of The World.
