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.
The south of Madagascar is an area strongly affected by successive years of severe drought. Following an exploratory mission and a quantitative and qualitative survey on the impact of famine on the health status of the populations of the South, since October 2021, MdM aims to reduce the morbidity and mortality of drought-affected populations in the Ambovombe and Bekily districts of the Androy region and the Amboasary district of the Anosy region. MdM has a base in Ambovombe and a subbase in Bekily.
The program contributes to meeting primary health needs, including nutrition, and preventing and combating gender-based violence ( VBG ) in the context of the humanitarian crisis in the south of the country. Health services are provided directly to communities through two mobile clinics. MdM is also implementing capacity building for healthcare providers in health facilities ( health centers and hospitals ), with regular training and supervision and support for the coordination of health districts. Rehabilitation of health centers is carried out to improve the quality of care related to VBG. Finally,WASH rehabilitation is carried out in the reference hospital and in two health centers in each intervention district in collaboration with existing partners.
The activities are carried out thanks to the financial support of ECHO ( in consortium with ACF and ASOS ), BHA and MdM equity.
