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
In Burkina Faso, our strategy and commitment are based on a dual approach: a comprehensive, equitable, accessible and quality healthcare offering, as well as political advocacy to sustainably improve access to healthcare and the right of women and adolescent girls to control their bodies. Current programs include:
- Emergency program in the North : we now have an operational base in Kongoussi in the Bam province. The project aims to implement the minimum package of primary health care activities in health facilities in the Kongoussi district, as well as through the deployment of mobile clinics managed directly by MdM. Support for the blockaded locality of Bourzanga is also included in this strategy.
- DSSR-CCU program in Ouagadougou : in 2018, MdM opened a project in Ouagadougou, in support of the Ministry of Health, prevention and management of precancerous lesions (LPC) of the cervix. The different areas of strengthening this program are structured around the identification of socio-cultural blockages, raising awareness among the target audience and local decision-makers around the issue of Cervical Cancer (CCU), strengthening screening and management methods and strengthening the coordination of the different actors involved in this topic.
- Youth and Adolescent SRHR Program in Ougadougou (RESPECT) : Since the end of 2021, MdM has been leading the project “RESPECT for the SRHR rights of adolescents and young people”, an inter-country project led by MdM-Canada in consortium with MdM-France, MdM-Spain and MdM-Switzerland aimed at increasing the enjoyment of health rights by people in vulnerable and marginalized situations, in particular adolescent girls and young women aged 10 to 24 in Burkina Faso, Benin and Haiti.
- Health system strengthening program in Hauts-Bassins : launched in December 2023, this consortium project led by MdM aims to strengthen the health system in the Hauts-Bassins region, which tends to accommodate an increasing number of people fleeing other localities in the country.
