General Coordinator – Bosnia and Herzegovina (m/w/x). At Médecins du Monde – Belgique

WHO ARE WE ?

Médecins du Monde Belgium is an international medical development NGO and part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups in Belgium and the rest of the world. We aim for universal health coverage where every person has access to health care, without barriers.

In Belgium and worldwide, our projects are aimed at all people who longer have access to health care. In particular, they are structured around five axes: marginalised people, 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

• Caring: giving people real access to healthcare.
• Changing: more than helping, we want to change things in the long term.
• 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 set of values that are common to our entire organisation: Social Justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.
