Médecins du Monde (MdM), a medical association campaigning for international solidarity, has been committed for over 40 years to treating the most vulnerable populations here and there, to bearing witness to the obstacles observed in access to care and to obtaining lasting improvements in health policies for all.

An independent association, Médecins du Monde acts beyond care by denouncing attacks on dignity and human rights and by fighting to improve the situation of vulnerable populations.

In France and internationally in nearly 30 countries, our actions aim to facilitate access to the healthcare system through our 6 priority fights:

• Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)
• Migration exile rights and health
• Risk reduction
• Environmental health
• Health systems
• Humanitarian spaces

Médecins du Monde has been involved in Madagascar since the late 1980s in emergency, recovery and development programs. In recent years, MdM has strengthened its presence in the country on the themes of sexual and reproductive health and rights, emergency cyclone and drought responses and the prevention and management of gender-based violence. The mission now includes coordination in the capital with a project base, as well as 3 field bases (Ambovombe, Androy region, Mananjary, Vatovay region, and Tamatave, Atsinanana region). The mission has also diversified its donor portfolio and increased its annual budget since 2021, which involves structuring the Finance department to ensure the quality of financial monitoring.
