WHO ARE WE ? Médecins du Monde is an international medical development NGO that is 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 healthcare without barriers. In Belgium and around the world, our projects are aimed at all those who do not have or no longer have access to healthcare. In particular, they are structured around five areas: people on the margins of society; migrants or displaced persons; and victims of crises or conflicts. To carry out our mission, we rely on three pillars: Care: providing real access to healthcare for populations. Changing: more than just helping, we want to bring about long-term change. Testifying: we do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence in the field, we challenge the authorities with facts, figures and realities. Our projects are guided by a set of values shared by our entire organisation: social justice, empowerment, independence, commitment and balance.
