OUR MISSION
Doctors of the World is an international medical development NGO and part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups in Belgium and around the world.
We want universal health coverage where everyone has access to care, without barriers (financial, cultural, geographical, etc.).
To successfully carry out our mission, we rely on three pillars:
- Providing care : giving populations real access to healthcare.
- Change : more than helping, we want to change things in the long term.
- Bearing 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 series of values ​​common to our entire organization: Social Justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.
THE ESSENTIALS
TOOLINE1 is a contraction of TOOL (tools) and LINE 1 (first line). It also stands for TO LINE 1 (enabling access to first-line care).
This project does not offer medical, psychological, or social consultations but focuses on improving the traditional healthcare system. The TOOLINE 1 pilot project is being developed in three Belgian cities: Brussels, Antwerp, and Mons. It is part of a broader effort to improve the skills of healthcare professionals. The objective is to promote the inclusion of highly vulnerable populations without sustainable access to first-line healthcare. The project develops initiatives that rethink the reception, support, and, where necessary, referral of these individuals.
The Coordinator is responsible for developing a project strategy and ensuring its operationalization across Belgium, in accordance with the national strategic plan.
