For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde (MdM), a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad. It has continued to bear witness to obstacles that exist in accessing healthcare and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies.

Those working for this independent organisation do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.

MdM France currently works in 30 countries across all continents to facilitate access to healthcare through 6 political battles:

• Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights
• Migration, Exile, Human Rights and Health
• Harm Reduction
• Environment and Health
• Humanitarian Space
• Healthcare systems and rights

Since October 2023, Gaza has faced an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, with intensified Israeli military operations resulting in over 66,000 deaths and massive displacement of nearly 2 million people. The post-ceasefire blockade has severely reduced aid and commercial imports, worsening shortages and driving food insecurity.

Amid these constraints, Médecins du Monde (MdM) maintains a flexible medical and mental health response. Despite growing access restrictions, evacuation orders, and a shrinking humanitarian space forcing suspension and permanent closure, MdM has been continuing its direct service provision in 4 to 6 Primary Healthcare Centers over the past year.
