WHO ARE WE ?
Doctors of the World is an international medical development NGO that is part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups in Belgium and around the world. We strive for universal health coverage where everyone has access to care, without barriers.
In Belgium and around the world, our projects are aimed at all those who do not have or no longer have access to healthcare. In particular, they are structured around five areas: people on the margins of society, children in vulnerable situations, women, migrants or displaced persons, and victims of crises or conflicts.
To carry out our mission, we rely on three pillars:
- Care : provide real access to care for populations.
- Change : more than helping, we want to change things in the long term.
- Bearing witness : We do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence on the ground, we challenge the authorities (local, regional and (inter)national) with facts, figures and realities.
Our projects follow a series of values ​​common to our entire organization: Social Justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.
