About Company:

About INTERSOS: INTERSOS is a humanitarian organisation on the front-line of emergencies, bringing assistance to victims of armed conflicts, natural disasters, and extreme exclusion with particular attention to the protection of the most vulnerable people. Since 1992 our humanitarian workers have been helping people affected by humanitarian crises: we provide first aid, food, shelter, medical assistance, and basic goods. We ensure that basic needs, such as education, access to clean water and health assistance are met. INTERSOS in Iran Following the Taliban retaking power in Afghanistan in August 2021, which has created a sudden high influx of Afghan nationals in Iran, INTERSOS decided to assess opportunities to establish its presence in Iran. INTERSOS obtained the approval from the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the establishment of its presence in Tehran - Iran in October-November 2021 and started conducting its joint-activities in June 2022. INTERSOS activities in Iran mainly focus on the health/medical sector and how to support the existing health system coping with the high number of new refugees and its impacts on local Iranians. In addition, some social activities around people with disabilities and children were linked to the medical activities.
