Overview

Médecins du Monde is a French medical humanitarian association that treats people excluded from healthcare in France and abroad. Its programs address barriers facing migrants, people who use drugs and communities affected by conflict, alongside sexual and reproductive health needs. Supported by donations, volunteers and salaried teams combine medical care with support for access to health rights and campaigns for changes to public policy. It belongs to an international network of independent associations that coordinate their work while retaining their own identities. Founded in 1980, Médecins du Monde is headquartered in Saint-Denis, France.
