Médecins du Monde Medical Coordinator Jobs in Kenya
Founded in 1980, Médecins du Monde (MdM) is a medical organization that fights tirelessly to defend a fair and universal health system. In France and abroad, Médecins du Monde carries out 59 programmes in some thirty countries, through our advocacy and field work. We are committed to caring for the most vulnerable populations, bearing witness to barriers to access to healthcare, denouncing infringements of dignity and human rights and achieving sustainable improvements in health policies for all.
Médecins du Monde is in the process of registering a new organization in Kenya “Médecins du Monde in Kenya”. The successive episodes of drought and floodings over the last few years drastically undermined living conditions and access to healthcare, particularly for the most vulnerable population groups facing the direct repercussions of global warming. This, along with the deterioration of the regional context in the Horn of Africa, are the reasons behind MdM’s return to Kenya.
