IDA Mission statement: To provide high Quality essential medicines and medical supplies at the lowest possible price to the not-for-profit sector in low and medium income countries.

For more than 30 years IDA has worked out of her headquarters in Amsterdam. The environment in which our customers operate is changing constantly and we feel that IDA needs to change in order to keep abreast of developments, which ultimately should result in better, fully rounded service to our customers. Therefore in January 2005 IDA opened its first regional NGO office: IDA Regional Office Nairobi focusing on Great Lakes and Horn of Africa, i.e. Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia.
