Description
WHO ARE WE ?
Médecins du Monde Belgique is an international medical development NGO and part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups in Belgium and the rest of the world.
We aim for universal health coverage where every person has access to care, without barriers (financial, cultural, geographical, etc.). To achieve our mission, we rely on three pillars:
- Care: giving people real access to care.
- Change: we want to change things in the long term, not just help.
- 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 set of values that are common to our entire organisation: Social Justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.
