Our Mission

The International Hyperbaric Medical Foundation (IHMF) is dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of people everywhere by promoting the safe, ethical, and scientifically sound use of hyperbaric medicine. Our mission is rooted in the belief that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has the potential to profoundly improve public health when applied with the highest medical standards and integrity.

We are committed to supporting and disseminating rigorous scientific research, fostering innovation, and developing effective treatment protocols that reflect the best of evidence-based medicine. Equally important, IHMF seeks to educate and empower medical practitioners, the general public, policy makers, and global health leaders with clear, accessible information about the benefits of hyperbaric medicine and adjunctive therapies.

As a nonprofit foundation, our vision extends beyond research and education. We are determined to expand access to HBOT worldwide, working to ensure that life-changing hyperbaric treatments are not limited by geography, economics, or policy barriers. By building collaborative partnerships, advocating for policy change, and supporting sustainable healthcare initiatives, IHMF strives to make hyperbaric medicine universally available, affordable, and integrated into modern healthcare systems.

In all we do, IHMF is guided by a commitment to ethical leadership, scientific excellence, and global equity. Together, we are working to unlock the full potential of hyperbaric medicine so that every individual, regardless of circumstance, can benefit from its healing power.
