Medecins du Monde UK /Doctors of the World UK
Mission Statement
Médecins du Monde is an international humanitarian aid organisation that recruits medical and non-medical volunteers, who provide healthcare for vulnerable populations around the world.
The work falls into three categories:
Emergency: responding to humanitarian crises, natural disasters and wars/ conflict situations.
Post-emergency and rehabilitation: helping local people to restore their health care system in the aftermath of emergencies by reconstructing clinics and hospitals, providing medical supplies and training local health care workers. Our projects also help with the physical and psychological recovery of people affected by disasters.
Long-term development: these projects aim to bring lasting and sustainable solutions by tackling the long-term effects of poverty and exclusion from health care. This involves supporting local health systems with prevention techniques, promoting health education and training local health care workers re: transferable skills.
