Regional advisor for humanitarian access and risk for Latin America (F / M) (Quedan 3 Días)...

Overview

For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad. It has continued to bear witness to obstacles that exist in accessing healthcare 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 France currently works in 30 countries across all continents to facilitate access to healthcare through 6 political battles :

• Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights
• Migration, Exile, Human Rights and Health
• Harm Reduction
• Environment and Health
• Humanitarian Space
• Healthcare systems and rights

Context

MdM-France is present in 3 countries on the American continent : Colombia, Mexico, and Panama.

In Colombia, MdM has been working since 1987, developing actions in the areas of primary healthcare, sexual and reproductive health and mental health. We work with populations that are victims of the armed conflict, indigenous and afro-descendant communities, survivors of gender-based sexual violence and migrants.

In Panama, MdM-France has been present since 2024 to respond to the crisis in Darien (border between Panama and Colombia).

MdM-France has been in Mexico since 1994 and currently has two operational bases - Tapachula and Ciudad Juarez - and a coordination office in Mexico City. MdM implements actions to improve access to health for the migrant population, including sexual and reproductive health care, specifically gender-based violence. The work is based on supporting local organizations and coordinating with health actors in the areas of intervention.
