About WHA
World Health Ambassador (WHA) is an international medical relief group providing free health care services to underserved communities around the world that do not otherwise have access to the medical support they need. WHA sends teams where needs exist, including responding to those suffering from the effects of environmental disasters.
WHA became an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2007 after starting as a pilot program of the Vietnamese American Medical Association. WHA now has more than 700 members in the US and around the world, including the United Kingdom, Sweden, France, Egypt, India, the Phillippines, Vietnam, Australia and Canada.
