MdM is recruiting General Coordination Assistant

MdM recruits 01 General Coordination Assistant

CONTEXT

Médecins du Monde is an international medical development NGO that is part of an international network. We provide medical assistance to vulnerable groups, in Belgium and around the world.

We want universal health coverage where each person has access to care, without obstacles (financial, cultural, geographical, etc.).

In Belgium and around the world, our projects are intended for all people who do not have or no longer have access to health care. In particular, they are structured around five axes: people on the margins of society (homeless, undocumented people, drug users, sex workers, etc.); children in vulnerable situations; women (accompanied in their fight for equality or against sexual violence, for example); migrants or displaced persons and victims of crises or conflicts.

To carry out our mission, we rely on three pillars:

• Care: give people real access to care.
• Accompany: more than help, we want to change things in the long term.
• Testify: we do not remain silent. Thanks to our experience and our presence on the ground, we challenge the authorities (local, regional and (inter)national) with facts, figures and realities.

Our projects follow a series of values ​​common to our entire organization: Social Justice, Empowerment, Independence, Commitment, Balance.
