Introduction
Overview of the organisation
• International Medical Corp impacts the society positively with a wide
range of aspects and actions that helps to uplift the communities and
societies that are suffering from critical health complications due to war

Contribution to the common good My professional contribution
• As a nursing student. I also can contribute to the growth and
development of this organisation and help them to achieve their target.
• As a nursing student, I am empowered with the responsibilities such as
spreading awareness in the society, making people aware of their rights
and their health conditions, spreading their knowledge about health
conditions and helping them to avail their care related rights (Böttiger &
Van Aken, 2015).
• These are the responsibilities that I would be upholding in my
educational institute and my locality so that they could develop abilities,
knowledge and health literacy for the growth and development of the
care process.
• Further, with awareness and increased knowledge, they would also help
in spreading healthcare knowledge in the society (Heymann et al.,
2015),
