Context
Medici del Mondo Italia is the Italian section of the international network of Médecins du Monde ( MDM ). The association was formed in December 2020 and formally joined the MdM network in October 2021. MDM Italia pursues purposes of social solidarity and acts to guarantee the right and access to health in Italy and worldwide. The lines of intervention pursued by the association to date are the access to health of migrant people arriving and passing through Italy and vulnerable groups living in situations of housing and environmental precariousness, with a specific focus on sexual and reproductive health and rights.
In Calabria, Medici del Mondo is present in Reggio Calabria and neighboring areas during and after landing, to help, visit and support migrant people arriving or temporarily hosted in reception centers. We support migrants in accessing medical care, we fight for health systems to be more flexible and inclusive, and we train health workers on how to interact effectively with migrant communities.
In Arghillà, on the outskirts of Reggio Calabria, Medici del Mondo intends to guarantee access to health for people living in conditions of vulnerability and socio-economic exclusion. The project also aims to strengthen the support and care capacity of the institutions and health associations present in the area. The Medici del Mondo staff present in Arghillà offers psychosocial support activities for the younger group of the population, guarantees medical visits, health education activities and screening.
