WORK WITH DOCTORS OF THE WORLD
For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organization committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad. It has continued to bear witness to obstacles that exist in accessing healthcare and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies.
Those working for this independent organization do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.
MdM France currently works in 30 countries across all continents to facilitate access to healthcare through 6 political battles:
- Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights
- Migration, Exile, Human Rights and Health
- Harm Reduction
- Environment and Health
- Humanitarian Space
Since 2021, MdM implements a project on “health and environment”, focusing on the impact of the living conditions and environment on the health of the population in Bulgaria.
MdM develops a holistic approach to health and supports the social cohesion among the population. The organization is also interested in supporting the emergence of civil society actors, in order for its actions to be sustainable. MdM seeks to accompany the dialogue process between the communities (as right bearers) and the different official stakeholders (as duty bearers) as to empower people to raise their voice and to gain social inclusiveness.
