Médecins du Monde bases its work around local partners to provide links that will ensure the work will continue. If no partners exist, MdM supports the setting up of sister organisations, which are often formed on the initiative of, and based around, MdM's local team. They gradually become autonomous and are supported for one to two years on average. The structures thus created remain MdM's natural partners in the region.
