Medecins du Monde, a militant medical association of international solidarity, has been committed for more than 40 years to caring for the most vulnerable populations here and there, to bear witness to the obstacles found in regard to’ access to care and to obtain lasting improvements in health policies for all.
As an independent association, Doctors of the World acts beyond care by denouncing violations of dignity and human rights and fighting to improve the situation of precarious populations.
In France and abroad in nearly 30 countries, our actions are aimed at facilitating access to the health system through our 6 priority fights :
- Sexual and reproductive rights and health (SRHR)
- Migration exile rights and health
- Risk reduction
- Environmental health
- Health systems
- Humanitarian spaces
Doctors of the World has been present in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) since 1994 and today operates in 2 provinces of the country (Kinshasa and Tanganyika) through several’urgences and development programs.
The association intervenes in Tanganyika to improve access to health care for populations affected by conflict. We are carrying out a programme of support to the Nyemba health zone in Tanganyika province, where inter-communal conflicts have led to massive population displacements and significant humanitarian needs. The objective of MdM is to reduce the morbidity and mortality of displaced and host persons, strengthening and restoring access to basic health services (providing free and quality curative and preventive care, including, improved access to a continuum of sexual and reproductive health care, rapid emergency response to epidemiological alerts).
With its sub-coordination office in Kalemie that ensures the steering and consistency of activities, MdM faces several logistical challenges, such as :
- rehabilitation of health centres damaged or destroyed by conflict,
- the delivery of medicines and medical inputs to areas with high logistical challenges, including,
- the movement of medical teams at a regular frequency,
- coordination with other humanitarian actors, health authorities and beneficiary communities.
These challenges are exacerbated by the lack of road infrastructure, the structuring of the PORT and airport’, the insecurity linked to armed groups and inter-ethnic conflicts. We must therefore adapt our means of transport to the specificities of the intervention areas.
