Our programs in Asia

In Asia, the association Médecins du Monde supports local partners in responding to humanitarian emergencies, particularly in Bangladesh with the Rohingyas.

We are trying to improve access to health care and rights for the poorest populations through Harm Reduction programs in Burma and Vietnam, and Sexual and Reproductive Health in Pakistan and Sri Lanka.

Médecins du Monde also works in Nepal and the Philippines with waste recyclers to support their capacity to act in the face of a harmful environment.
