Médecins du Monde UK

Médecins du Monde UK (MdM UK) was established in January 1998. Previously, British volunteers had participated in projects organised by Médecins du Monde France, and links with Doctors of the World USA had also been established in Britain.

The MdM UK office now concentrates its work on four major areas:

  • Recruiting British volunteers for overseas projects run by MdM France
  • Running Project: London which is a healthcare initiative reaching out to vulnerable people in the UK who cannot access mainstream healthcare services
  • Raising funds for our overseas projects and for Project: London
  • Raising awareness about MdM's work, as well as raising awareness of issues concerning obstacles to healthcare that our volunteers have witnessed in the field. This is done by publishing Reports containing first-hand accounts of human rights abuses that we have witnessed which then give a voice to people whose stories would not otherwise be heard

Our Board of Trustees is made up of a combination of medics, business professionals and overseas volunteers. Susan Wright, Director of Médecins du Monde UK, leads the team in the UK office.
