MdM Network Annual Report 2024

In 2024, the world did not become a fairer place. Inequalities deepened, conflicts intensified, international humanitarian law was often violated, and the space for humanitarian action continued to shrink. Governments turned inward, funding priorities shifted, and public support for essential health services declined in too many places. But Médecins du Monde did not turn away.
Médecins du Monde stood where others stepped back. As an international network, we stood alongside people pushed to the margins—migrants, sex workers/ persons in situation of prostitution, people who use drugs, homeless persons and people living in war zones or under occupation. We offered care, but not only care. We listened, we spoke out, and we stayed. We chose presence over silence, action over resignation. Our teams delivered care, but also bore witness,
and we raised our voices against injustice. At the same time, we faced growing pressure ourselves: reduced government funding, administrative hurdles and increasing insecurity in the field. And yet, thanks to the dedication of our staff, volunteers and local
partners, we continued to act—often where others could not or would not. In November, during our Network General Assembly
in Athens, we took important steps to strengthen the cohesion and resilience of our international movement.
We introduced three strategic pillars: to enhance collaboration across international projects; to revisit our governance model to better support our shared ambitions; and to commit to developing together sustainable financial models tailored to the realities of each chapter.
