AIM, the International Association of Mutual Benefit Societies (Association Internationale de la Mutualité) represents health mutual benefit societies (mutuals) and health insurance funds in Europe and worldwide.[1] It was founded in 1950[2] and is based in Brussels. Through its 61 members from 27 countries, health coverage is provided to over 200 million people in the world and to 160 million in Europe.[3] Its members manage compulsory and/or voluntary health insurance and some deliver healthcare and social services through their own facilities.[4] As an international association, AIM is present in Europe, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East.
AIM's historyAIM was founded in January 1950 at the General Assembly in Paris under the French legal form of Association. By that time, the Association had its headquarters in Geneva. Its official statutory name "Association Internationale de la Mutualité" therefore dates back to 1950. Its headquarters were transferred from Geneva to Brussels in 1998. In 2008 AIM changed legal status: it went from an Association under French law to an Association with non-profit orientation under Belgian Law (ASBL). The objective of the association in 1950 was–and still is–to defend mutuals’ interests. Among its members are (umbrella organisations of) healthcare mutual, but also other not-for-profit providers of healthcare coverage and national health funds. AIM’s presidents [5]
AIM's Missions as International AssociationAIM works with European and international institutions to promote universal access to healthcare and health protection based on solidarity and democracy according to the principles of its members.

It is a member of Social Economy Europe.[6] AIM members share the mutual values of solidarity and democracy and the principle of not-for-profit orientation[7]
