Our humanitarian values

Volunteers and paid staff at Médecins du Monde have a shared commitment to solidarity. Our human resources policy offers you the opportunity to put these values into practice as you work with us.

Médecins du Monde is an activist organisation committed to combating all forms of discrimination and promoting professional equality and diversity. We also seek to ensure that people living with disabilities have the opportunity to work in a positive professional environment.

We treat everyone we work with equally, irrespective of status or nationality, and are committed to integration, career support and skills development.
