General Information
The Comitato Collaborazione Medica is a non-governmental organization founded in 1968 in Turin by a group of doctors. Today, forty two years after its foundation, the CCM counts more than 300 people sharing the commitment for the assertion of the right to health care. The goal of its activities is the improvement of health conditions in the population of low income countries. The CCM budgetary resources for the year 2009 were over 4 millions euro. The main donors of programs currently undertaken by CCM are: the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; UNICEF; WHO; UNHCR; UE; UNOCHA; FAO; private foundations. The organization’s financial accounts are yearly audited by certified public accountants according to international best practises and regulations, both in the headquarters and in the peripheral offices. In every country CCM has a strong partnership among international and local NGOs, with involvement of local health authorities and communities.
Mission and Objectives

CCM leads development projects in the medical field using an integrated approach (water, nutrition and rehabilitation facilities) required in areas severely lacking infrastructures. The areas of intervention are characterized by a scarce incidence of medical facilities and often by environmental or political instability. When the occurrence of strong inter-ethnic tensions, droughts, floods or spreading epidemics threatens to compromise a population’s health or to interrupt the supply of essential provisions, the CCM’s medical assistance programs guarantee continuity through emergency procedures. Primary Health Care, which considers health to be a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not simply absence of disease or infirmity, is the principle inspiring CCM. Basic medical assistance proceeds with the treatment of large epidemics, efforts to contain epidemics, basic surgery, vaccination campaigns, the creation of blood banks and community pharmacies.

Main Projects / Activities

At present CCM operates in Burundi, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kenya, Mali, Somalia and South Sudan with 28 between main and secondary projects. In one year, with the aid of supporters, working in 7 hospitals and 95 primary health care centres CCM vaccinated 52,000 children, conducted 300,000 medical check-ups, 25,000 surgeries and 25,000 blood tests.
The main activities of CCM consist in rehabilitating health facilities, providing medical and nursing staff, local staff’s training, procuring drugs, vaccines, medical and surgical equipment.
CCM operates to prevent diseases, ensure access to care and improve health, through the implementation of medical and surgical services, vaccination of women and children, screening of risk pregnancies, communicable diseases control, health education, and provision of safe water.
