For more than 30 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 40 countries across all continents where it focuses on 4 priority areas: caring for the health of migrants and displaced persons, promoting sexual and reproductive health, combating HIV and reducing the harm and risks associated with drug use, crises and conflicts.

MdM is currently starting its operations in Ukraine. A number of exploratory missions have been undertaken in different areas of Ukraine in 2015. The mission focused on changes in availability of, and access to, healthcare due to the conflict. Based on the evidence gathered during this assessment MdM has decided to intervene to improve access and quality of health care services for vulnerable conflict affected populations in Luhansk Oblast.
