Doctors of the World, a medical association committed to international solidarity, has been committed for 40 years to caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad, to highlighting the barriers identified regarding access to healthcare, and to achieving sustainable improvements in healthcare policies for all.
As an independent association, we operate beyond healthcare, denouncing violations of dignity and human rights and working to improve the situation of populations in precarious situations.
In France and in 30 countries worldwide, our actions aim to facilitate access to healthcare through six priority areas:
- Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)
- Rights and health of migrants in exile
- Risk reduction
- Environmental health
- Health systems
- Humanitarian spaces
