We have an integrated app that allows you to take AMBOSS anywhere, both online and offline.

What is the AMBOSS Humanitarian Support Initiative?

The goal of the AMBOSS Humanitarian Support Initiative is to equip medical professionals with free, high-quality medical knowledge for their humanitarian work around the world.

When will I hear back from you? Can I have access right away?

Please allow us up to three working days to process and review each application before responding. In the meantime, if you haven’t already created an AMBOSS account, you can do so here and activate the free 5-day trial to get you started.

Where can I find information for using in the field or in resource-poor settings?
