Dooley Intermed International

Dooley Intermed International is a non-profit healthcare organization dedicated to providing medical assistance and infrastructure to underserved populations in developing nations. The organization is most recognized for its "Gift of Sight" programs, which focus on restoring vision through cataract surgeries and the distribution of corrective eyewear in remote regions such as the Himalayas and Southeast Asia. Beyond ophthalmology, Dooley Intermed supports large-scale immunization efforts and the development of local medical facilities to ensure sustainable health improvements. Their operational model emphasizes "self-help" by training local healthcare professionals and collaborating with regional partners to deliver high-impact clinical care. The organization continues the legacy of Dr. Tom Dooley by focusing on humanitarian medical aid in areas with limited access to modern healthcare.
