MISSION
For more than 20 years, Medicos del Mundo (MdM), a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations domestically and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care 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 currently works in 44 countries across all continents where it focuses on 4 priority areas: caring for the health of migrants and displaced persons, promoting sexual and reproductive health, harm reduction associated with drug use, emergencies and crisis.
MdM has been implementing programs in conflict affected regions of Ukraine since September 2015. MdM intervenes to improve access and quality of health care services for vulnerable conflict affected populations in Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts, namely internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in government-controlled areas (GCA) and civilians remaining resident in non-government-controlled areas (NGCA).
A field team has been in place since June 2015 and is now implementing activities in government- and non-government-controlled areas of Luhansk and Donetsk Oblast. Since the RF high-scale invasion, MdM has been adjusting the programs in order to:
Restore access to primary healthcare services for displaced and host populations.
