For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde (MdM), a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad. It has continued to bear witness to obstacles that exist in accessing healthcare 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 France currently works in 30 countries across all continents to facilitate access to healthcare through 6 political battles:
MdM in Yemen
Yemen remains one of the world’s most complex and severe humanitarian crises, driven by years of protracted conflict, economic collapse, climate-related shocks, political fragmentation, and persistent access constraints. An estimated 19.5 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, including 11.5 million who require urgent, life-saving aid. The healthcare system is under immense strain, with approximately 15 million people lacking access to adequate medical services, compounded by widespread cholera outbreaks and systemic challenges across the health sector.
The operational context remains volatile, where localized tensions, service disruptions, and economic pressures, such as currency depreciation and delayed public sector salaries, contribute to periodic unrest and operational constraints.
