Natural Doctors International is the oldest naturopathic global health organization in North America. Our work of more than a decade has brought integrative healthcare to the underserved by providing an opportunity for naturopathic physicians, licensed acupuncturists, integrative MDs, nurses and other holistically orientated health care practitioners the opportunity to serve our larger global community. Our work in policy has created a space for a continual dialogue of the value of naturopathic medicine in global health. Our collaborative model promotes responsible volunteerism and brings together change makers that work towards permanent holistically minded solutions to health - mind, body, spirit, individual, community, planet. Since 2005, our naturopathic clinic in Ometepe, Nicaragua has provided over 20,000+ patients free naturopathic integrative medical care by volunteer naturopathic physicians and CAM providers and nearly $500,000 USD of medicines. Our CE course, Global Health in Natural Medicine, has graduated more than 500 students and physicians and remains the leading course within its field to train students, interns and physicians in global medicine. Our policy work has been instrumental in the formation of World Naturopathic Federation. NDI Vision - NDI empowers children, women, and men to obtain holistic health for all and envisions a world where we all thrive in mind, body, spirit, community and planet. NDI will lead the naturopathic and integrative medicine professions in global health through service, education, policy and research to achieve this end. NDI Mission - NDI promotes global health and social justice through natural medicine.
