Job Description

Description

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 RightsMigration, Exile, Human Rights and HealthHarm ReductionEnvironment and HealthHumanitarian SpaceHealthcare systems and rights

Context

Yemen remains entrenched in a complex humanitarian and political crisis, stemming from a civil war that began in 2014. The conflict primarily involves the Houthi/Ansar Allah movement, which seized control of the capital, Sana'a, and the internationally recognized government backed by a Saudi-led coalition. Despite numerous peace talks and ceasefire attempts, a comprehensive resolution has yet to be achieved.

MdM's strategy in Yemen is holistic, addressing immediate health needs. The mission is working towards long-term improvements and resilience in the healthcare system through primary health care, sexual and reproductive health, protection, mental health support, capacity building, and advocacy. MdM aims to alleviate suffering and promote resilience among the Yemeni population.
