Doctors of the World in Ivory Coast
Present in Ivory Coast since 1980, Médecins du Monde France (MdM) works to guarantee equitable access to quality health services, placing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) at the heart of its action.
As part of its 2027-2028 strategy, MdM is implementing an integrated approach aimed at sustainably strengthening the health system and the capacities of community actors. This approach combines the promotion of SRHR, the prevention and management of gender-based violence, the strengthening of community health, as well as the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women, girls and adolescents.
Through its programs, the organization supports health facilities, public institutions, and civil society organizations to improve the supply and demand of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services. MdM also contributes to capacity building for various stakeholders, the development of mechanisms that promote access to care for the most vulnerable populations, and the sustainable transformation of social norms that limit the exercise of sexual and reproductive rights.
Furthermore, the organization is committed to the prevention and treatment of cervical cancer, advocacy for sexual and reproductive rights, and the development of innovative approaches to improve access to quality healthcare for all.
