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:

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

Context

Médecins du Monde (MdM)'s strategy in Yemen is holistic, addressing immediate health needs while also working towards long-term improvements and resilience in the healthcare system. This is achieved through primary health care integrated with protection, mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), capacity building, and advocacy. MdM aims to alleviate suffering and promote resilience among the Yemeni population.

Reproductive Health and Rights (RHR) and MHPSS are crosscutting themes across all activities, supported by a transversal advocacy component.

MdM currently operates in both northern and southern Yemen, with interventions in the governorates of Sana’a, Amanat Al Asimah, Aden, and Marib. MdM coordination office is based in Sana’a, supported by two field offices in Aden and Marib.
