Médecins du Monde, a medical association campaigning for international solidarity, has been committed for over 40 years to treating the most vulnerable populations here and there, to bearing witness to the obstacles observed in access to care and to obtaining lasting improvements in health policies for all.
An independent association, Médecins du Monde acts beyond care by denouncing attacks on dignity and human rights and by fighting to improve the situation of vulnerable populations.
In France and internationally in nearly 30 countries, our actions aim to facilitate access to the healthcare system through our 6 priority fights:
- Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)
- Migration exile rights and health
- Risk reduction
- Environmental health
- Health systems
- Humanitarian spaces
Context

Médecins du Monde’s intervention strategy for 2024-2025 includes sustainable support in a specific region, with anticipation of the transition of services to local actors to guarantee the sustainability of care. A nutrition and gender-based violence program is also underway, with operational monitoring and the implementation of monitoring tools.
