Médecins du Monde (MdM) delivers healthcare to the most vulnerable and works to remove barriers to access and drive long-term change in health policies, in France and across nearly 30 countries. In Syria, following the major political shift of December 2024, MdM is adapting its interventions to a changing humanitarian landscape. Its strategy focuses on providing primary healthcare (outpatient consultations, vaccination, nutritional care, reproductive health) through direct support to three health facilities, and on a community-based approach to promote equitable access to care.
