The ICC era
Before JMFOA International, the chapters were coordinated by the ICC — the International Coordinating Committee of JMFOA, based in the USA.
A central hub
The ICC was a central hub coordinating the JMFOA chapters' functions and activities.
Regular meetings
Coordination was carried out through regular meetings and collaboration with the JMFOA chapters.
Working with Sri Lanka
The ICC also collaborated with the Faculty of Medicine, Hospitals and Health Authorities in Sri Lanka.
2023 — the ICC becomes JMFOA International
In 2023, the ICC was converted into JMFOA International — established in 2023 in London — the unified global body of all JMFOA chapters: Australia/NZ • Canada • Sri Lanka • UK • USA.
