Our Story
Our Vision
Remote Area Medical is a non-profit organization established in 1985 in the United States. It is dedicated to delivering basic medical aid to people in the world’s most inaccessible regions. RAM’s vision is to be the best at operating clinics, which enhance quality of life, through the delivery of competent and compassionate health care to those who are impoverished, isolated, and underserved.
RAM Philippines
RAM first worked in the Philippines during Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. RAM Philippines was established as a formal entity and was registered at the Securities and Exchange Commission in March 2017.
Dr. Heidi Sampang, a pediatrician and a graduate of global health from Northwestern University started RAM Philippines and is the country program manager.
Beginnings
Remote Area Medical was founded by Stan Brock.
“My vision for Remote Area Medical developed when I suffered a personal injury while living among the Wapishana Indians in Guyana, South America. I was isolated from medical care, which was about a 26 day journey away. I witnessed the near devastation of whole tribes by what would have been simple or minor illnesses to more advanced cultures. When I left Guyana, I vowed to find a way to deliver basic medical aid to people in the world’s inaccessible regions. So, in 1985 I established the non-profit, Remote Area Medical or as most people know us – RAM. RAM is the way I have kept that promise, not only to the Wapishana Indians, but to thousands around the world in similar conditions. In other words, there are Wapishanas everywhere.”
