Medecins du Monde, a militant medical association of international solidarity, has been committed for more than 40 years to caring for the most vulnerable populations here and there, to bear witness to the obstacles found in regard to’ access to care and to obtain lasting improvements in health policies for all.
As an independent association, Doctors of the World acts beyond care by denouncing violations of dignity and human rights and fighting to improve the situation of precarious populations.
In France and abroad in nearly 30 countries, our actions are aimed at facilitating access to the health system through our 6 priority fights :
- Sexual and reproductive rights and health (SRHR)
- Migration exile rights and health
- Risk reduction
- Environmental health
- Health systems
- Humanitarian spaces
The mandate of the emergency unit is to intervene as a priority on emergencies and crises that occur in countries where MoM is already operational (30 countries). The’urgency response in countries where MdM is not present is systematically considered if the’ access to the continuum of care is interrupted and if the capacities of the country and of the actors on the spot are exceeded.
