Description

For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, 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:

MdM has been active in North-East Nigeria since 2016. The program is implemented around the main following components:

Untill recently MdM’s intervention was pretty much emergency oriented, with five MdM runned clinics plus an emergency response team (ERT) for rapid response to sudden population displacements and cholera outbreaks. The mission is now shifting its logic of intervention towards a Nexus approach: ERT team doesn’t exist anymore and we are slowly shifting from substitution programming (MdM clinics) to the support to State MoH health facilities in a bid to foster sustainability.

Currently, MdM has its coordination office in Abuja, a field office in Maiduguri City and a sub office in Damboa. A new project is deployed in the North West of the country (Katsina) so as to respond to the internal crisis that is worsen by the Niger crisis including a mobile clinic and support to the MoH structures.

The team is composed of around 10 expatriates and 200 national staffs.
