WHO ARE WE ?
Doctors of the World is an international medical development NGO and part of a global network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups in Belgium and around the world. We advocate for universal health coverage where everyone has access to healthcare without barriers.
In Belgium and around the world, our projects are aimed at all people who do not have or no longer have access to healthcare. In particular, they are structured around five areas: marginalized people, vulnerable children, women, migrants or displaced persons, and victims of crises or conflicts.
To successfully carry out our mission, we rely on three pillars:
- Providing care : giving populations real access to healthcare.
- 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.
