=== AIM’AIM's Historyhistory ===
AIM 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"Association Internationale de la Mutualité”Mutualité" therefore dates back to 1950. Its headquarters were transferred from [[Geneva]] to Brussels in 1998.{{Citation needed|date=August 2022}}
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 –andwas–and still is– tois–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.
