In many instances care “is” available in the child’s country but the parents simply “want” the child to be treated abroad. We can “only” help in those cases where there is “no” medical care available in the child’s native country.

All forms and other correspondence must be in English.

This Power Of Attorney form gives International Children's Medical Foundation the required needed authorization to seek medical care for their child. This form must be printed out, in it's entirety, with no changes made and presented to a US Notary at your local area US Consulate or US Embassy.
