CONTEXT
Santé Sud is an international NGO committed to the right to health for all. Our programs are designed using a public health methodology based on human rights and gender equality. Since 1984, we have been acting without replacing, strengthening the capacities of our local partners so that everyone has access to quality care. Our partners include health system stakeholders, local authorities in our regions of intervention, civil society organizations committed to the right to health, and local populations. Since 2012, Santé Sud has been an association of Groupe SOS.
The organization has nearly 40 years of expertise, across 4 major action themes: Medicalization of rural areas & Community health; Health, sexual and reproductive rights and gender equality; Child health and development; Fight against priority & neglected diseases. In 2024, Santé Sud, in conjunction with its local partners, will lead 10 programs in 5 countries (Morocco, Tunisia, Guinea, Mauritania, Madagascar) and Mayotte.
Present in Mayotte since December 2019, Santé Sud has been supported by the Regional Health Agency (ARS) since that date, for the deployment of a local health program in Petite-Terre. The Santé Sud project aims to raise awareness, screen and refer people far from care to local health structures, thanks to the work of its teams of health mediators (MS) and community relays (RC). The latter, from the targeted neighborhoods, have a perfect knowledge of the context and the habits of the inhabitants, allowing them to best adapt the activities. As part of the Mayotte Regional Health Plan (PRSM) for the period 2023-2028, Santé Sud positions itself as a “reference local association”, a privileged partner of the ARS in the Petite-Terre health catchment area. The association plans to increase its activities for the period 2025-2027, to extend them to the whole of Petite-Terre.
