MDM recruits 01 Medical advisor (F/M) – Romania
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 has recently conducted a fact-finding mission in the neighboring countries of Ukraine to assess the needs of people displaced by the conflict. As a result of this mission, MdM has made the decision to start operations in Romania to support Ukrainian refugees and existing highly vulnerable populations in Romania to have better access to healthcare.
