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:
After almost 10 years of emergency programs in Iraq, MdM is going through a transition phase to develop long term programs.
At the end of 2022 and beginning of 2023 MdM conducted in Iraq a multi-thematic health need assessment to explore the potential public health needs in targeted locations for MdM to respond to. The assessment results demonstrate a dramatic increase in Amphetamine-Type Stimulant (ATS) use among young groups in a short period. Moreover, the assessment revealed that among every four individuals surveyed, at least one reported knowing someone engaged in crystal meth or other drug use. The lack of Mental Health and Psychosocial support (MHPSS) and services remains a challenge in Iraq.
A new strategy was hence adopted and MdM Iraq is about to launch a new program in Harm Reduction for ATS (amphetamine type stimulant) users in Baghdad.
