Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organization 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 organization 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 more than 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.
In Asia, the crisis around the welcoming of the Rohingyas is a chronic regional crisis, both in transit and destination countries with still active migratory flows.
Considering its current presence in Myanmar and Bangladesh, MdM has decided to further develop a multi-country program for refugees, asylum-seekers, and migrants in the region. Therefore, an exploratory mission has been conducted in Malaysia in March 2020 by a team composed of MdM advisors and key Malaysian stakeholders. The fact findings confirmed the added value for MdM to intervene through local partnerships with Malaysian organizations present in the field.
Following the mission opening in Malaysia in January 2021, MdM has developed a cross-sectoral approach on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) to address unmet needs for refugees and migrants in Malaysia.
MdM will start to implement its first project by September 2021 on access to quality healthcare services for refugees and asylum-seekers in Malaysia.
