Médecins du Monde Belgique recruits 01 Psychologist – Bosnia Hercegovina

Description

CONTEXT

Doctors of the World is an international medical development NGO which is part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups in Belgium and the rest of the world.

We aim for universal health coverage where every person has access to care, without barriers (financial, cultural, geographic, etc.).

In Belgium and around the world, our projects are intended for all people who have no or restricted access to health care. In particular, they are structured along five axes: people on the margins of society (homeless or paperless people, drug users, sex workers, etc.); children in vulnerable situations; women (accompanied in their fight for equality and against sexual violence for example); migrants or displaced persons and victims of crises or conflicts.

Doctors of the World is currently active in Belgium and eleven other countries: Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Congo, Tunisia, Haiti, Niger, Slovenia, Mali, Greece, Morocco and Libya.

To carry out our mission, we base our work on three pillars:

  • Caring: organizing real access to care for people.
  • To accompany change: more than to help, we want to change things in the long run.
  • Testify: we do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence on the ground, we challenge the people in power (local, regional and (inter) national) with facts, figures and realities.

Our projects rely on a series of values common to our entire organization: social justice, empowerment, independence, commitment and balance.

THE ESSENTIALS

Founded in 1997 by the gynaecologist Marie Bruyns in 1997 “Médecins du Monde/Doctors of the World – Belgique (MdM-BE)” is an international medical development Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) based in Brussels, Belgium that is part of the international MdM network.

MdM’s vision is to ensure universal healthcare coverage globally, and that all persons have access to care without barriers (financial, cultural, geographic, etc.). MdM’s actions are based on the three pillars of the organization, which are: 1) Care (give people real access to healthcare without barriers), 2) Testimonies (gain facts about healthcare realities and disseminate them), 3) Sustainable change. The majority of our programs are mobile, meaning MdM goes where the most vulnerable people live (outreach), i.e. doing street work, visiting squats or camps and going to isolated villages.
