OUR MISSION
Médecins du Monde is an international medical development NGO and a member of a global network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable populations in Belgium and worldwide.
We want universal health coverage where each person has access to healthcare, without obstacles (financial, cultural, geographical, etc.).
To achieve our mission, we rely on three core pillars:
- Care: provide real access to healthcare for populations.
- Change: more than helping, we want to change things in the long term.
- To bear witness: we do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence in the field, we call on authorities (local, regional, and (inter)national) with facts, figures, and realities.
Our projects follow a series of values shared across our entire organization: Social justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.
