For
more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical
organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for
the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to
highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care 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.

continents where it focuses on 5 priority areas: emergency and crisis,
sexual and reproductive health, harm reduction, migrants and displaced
populations (health rights), health and environment.

working in Tanzania since 1992 on HIV/AIDS development projects. Since
2010, MdM focus in Tanzania has been the instauration of harm reduction

was handed over to the local civil society and the funding to the Global
Fund. MdM remained in Tanzania to support with technical expertise and
to coordinate the scale up of these programmes, that are now present in
different locations in Tanzania.

Since 2022, MdM has started,
together with national and international partners, several Sexual and
Reproductive Health interventions, both in Dar es Salaam and Dodoma, and
will continue increasing its presence in this sector.

As part
of a growing harm reduction regional approach, MdM Tanzania is starting
new programmes in neighbouring countries. MdM is providing remote
technical assistance and support on harm reduction programming in
Burundi and Rwanda upon the request of local actors.
