What we do
CARE
We provide concrete access to healthcare to the most vulnerable and socially disadvantaged people to treat both their physical and mental health. We believe that our actions truly influence the environments in which people are born, grow, work and age. We help to improve local healthcare infrastructures to empower populations to take care of their health.
SUPPORT
We are convinced that any lasting change comes from empowering people to act on their health. They do so by being actively involved in developing, delivering and assessing our programs. We support them in developing their own public health policies by responding to their needs.
WITNESS
Beyond indignation and revolt, we seek to expose what is intolerable in order to better denounce it. We call on national and international authorities to provide easy access to healthcare and we promote respect for human rights. We want to influence political decisions to better protect the health of people and their communities.
