Doctors of the World, an activist medical association of international solidarity, has been committed for more than 40 years to treat the most vulnerable populations here and there, to witness the obstacles noted with regard to access to care, to obtain lasting improvements in health policies for all.
An independent association, we act beyond care by denouncing the attacks on dignity and human rights and by fighting to improve the situation of precarious populations.
In France as internationally in nearly 30 countries, our actions aim to facilitate access to the health system by working on 5 priority themes structuring our fights and our pleas : emergencies and crises, sexual and reproductive health, risk reduction, migration, rights and health and health-environment.
