Logistics coordinator (F/M)
Description du poste
For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad. It has continued to bear witness to obstacles that exist in accessing healthcare 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.
MdM France currently works in 30 countries across all continents to facilitate access to healthcare through 6 political battles:
- Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights
- Migration, Exile, Human Rights and Health
- Harm Reduction
- Environment and Health
- Humanitarian Space
- Healthcare systems and rights
Context
With a team of over a hundred people (around 50 in West Bank and 80 in Gaza), Médecins du Monde (MdM) is carrying out several actions in Gaza and the West Bank to respond to the urgent needs of the population in this critical context:
Gaza I Primary health care & MHPSS Support
MdM provides primary health care consultations in the 6 health centres it runs in Gaza City, Rafah, Khan Younes and Deir el-Balah, particularly for chronic diseases, communicable diseases, emergency first aid, sexual and reproductive health care and mental health care, in collaboration with local partners. In addition, the organisation offers mental health and psychosocial support services in its centres to help people with mental health problems, including those traumatised by the conflict, including individual and group support sessions, as well as awareness-raising sessions on mental health issues.
West Bank I MHPSS Support & Primary Health Care
MdM provides mental health consultations and psychosocial support to people affected by violence from settlers and the Israeli armed forces. MdM France, Switzerland and Spain teams cover the whole of the West Bank and East Jerusalem to respond to incidents of violence with their mobile mental health teams. In 2023, 10,761 consultations were carried out, and 210 people were referred to specialist services.
At the same time, MdM directly delivers primary healthcare in remote areas of the West Bank, where patients have little or no access to healthcare services. These areas are served by MdM’s mobile clinic, which provides care for chronic diseases, communicable diseases, sexual and reproductive health and mental health.
