For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most
vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care 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 currently works in more than 30 countries across all continents where it focuses on 5 priority areas:
emergency and crisis, sexual and
reproductive health,
harm reduction, migrants and displaced populations (health rights), health and environment.
MdM is currently implementing an
emergency response program in Borno state since 2016. The program is implemented around the main following components: improving access to
primary health care,
nutrition treatment (severe acute malnutrition), gender-based violence survivors’ treatment,
mental health and psychological support. MdM has its
coordination office in Maiduguri and a sub office in Damboa.
MdM is directly running 3 clinics in Maiduguri (Garba Buzu, Kawarmaila et El Meskin).
A field team has been in place since June 2017 in Damboa
local government area (LGA) and is running two fixed clinics in two IDP camps but also for host population. MdM medical team is supporting 2 health posts (Ministry of Health) in Azir and Gumzuri villages.
