Médecins du Monde, 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
Present in the Central African Republic since 1996, the association has set up numerous programs: an HIV-AIDS project in the city center of Bangui, the deployment of several emergency mobile clinics throughout the country from 2019 to 2022 or our current program in Bouca focusing on strengthening the quality of medical interventions in communities.
Today, the intervention strategy for the coming period provides for a consolidation of the project in Bouca (financed by GFFO until June 2025) by focusing on the quality of our support, accountability, the development of new actions aimed at improving coverage of access to basic services for populations affected by new shocks.
In addition, the challenge of the coming months will be to seek funding from donors and to launch new programs in Bangui, Bossangoa and Batangafo via the opening of bases and the creation of new consortia with the INGOs already present. Through these actions, we hope to increase the operational and financial volume, as well as to expand our geographical coverage of Médecins du Monde in the CAR.
