Doctors of the World UK

Who we are

Doctors of the World is an independent humanitarian movement working at home and abroad to empower excluded people to access healthcare.

Through 400 programmes in 70 countries run by more than 6,000 volunteers we provide medical care, strengthen health systems and address underlying barriers to healthcare.

We empower excluded people to access healthcare through medical programmes and evidence-based advocacy, while fighting for universal health coverage.

And we share skills and training locally so communities stay strong in the long term.

We also strive to give a voice to the most marginalised, reporting on violence, injustice and unmet health needs wherever we find them.

Our vision is a world without barriers to health, where healthcare is recognised as a fundamental right.
