Doctors of the World is the US chapter of Médecins du Monde (MdM), an international humanitarian organization that provides emergency and long-term medical care to vulnerable people, while fighting for equal access to healthcare worldwide. DotW has a small portfolio of OFDA grants, which has grown quickly in a short period of time. We intend to keep a pipeline of concept notes and proposals for future grants.

Doctors of the World values healthcare as a fundamental right and is committed to improving access to quality medical services for communities affected by poverty, disease, conflict, natural disasters or health disparities. DotW provides medical care under all circumstances, regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, religion, age or political beliefs. Standing up against discrimination, DotW bears witness to health inequity worldwide.

Our Principles:

1. Affirming access to healthcare as a human right

2. Providing direct access to quality health services

3. Working with local partners to ensure sustainability and effectiveness

4. Fighting for those excluded from care

5. Exposing barriers to healthcare through data collection and testimonies
