Founded in 1993, Médecins du Monde Switzerland is a medical humanitarian NGO and part of the international Médecins du Monde network. We provide sustainable access to health care for people in vulnerable situations in Switzerland and around the world.
We provide care and bear witness to the overcoming of barriers to health and to the realization of the right to health for all. Everyone should have access to health care, without financial, social, cultural, or geographical barriers.
In partnership with civil society organisations or local authorities, we implement projects on the ground to improve access to health care for women and children, people in vulnerable situations and victims of crises and conflicts in a sustainable way. Médecins du Monde's actions are at the crossroads of humanitarian action and public health. We favour a global approach that aims to provide sustainable and comprehensive responses to inequalities in access to health.
