MDM recruits 01 Consortium program manager (F/M) – Palestinian territories
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 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’s intervention in the West Bank is focused on provision of mental health and psychosocial emergency response activities following critical incidents related to occupation. The mental health and psychosocial support emergency response (MHPSS ER) project is implemented under the umbrella of the West Bank protection consortium (WBPC), which is led by MdM-France, in partnership with MdM-Spain and MdM-Switzerland.
