ENSURING UNCONDITIONAL ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE
An ongoing struggle
Despite the establishment of many public mechanisms for vulnerable people in the 30 years since the creation of MdM, Switzerland continues to suffer humanitarian emergencies and obstacles to access to rights and healthcare. These issues have led us to maintain or develop not only programs to create centers that provide medical and social care and guidance/support, but also mobile community-based actions.
