About Company
Founded in 1980, Médecins du Monde is a militant medical association of international solidarity that fights tirelessly to defend a fair and universal health system. Faced with inertia and indifference, in a world where physical, psychological, political and institutional violence reign, Médecins du Monde treats , challenges , shakes up , without limits, without ideology or censorship.
We fight through actions and rights, through our advocacy and our field actions, in France with 59 programs and internationally in around thirty countries.
Because for Médecins du Monde, defending health is not only about treating , it is also about listening, supporting, protecting, collaborating, defending, training, pleading. It is about tackling the sources of a problem to make the symptoms disappear.
Thus, we are committed to caring for the most vulnerable populations, to bearing witness to the obstacles observed in access to care, to denouncing rejection, discrimination, attacks on dignity and human rights , and to campaigning to obtain lasting improvements in health policies for all. Our approach is local, collective and sustainable. We do not claim to be able to act alone, but with the help of other associations and the support of the people to whom our programs are aimed.
Because without health there is no future , we, Doctors of the World, will not let anything or anyone stand in its way.
