Taking a stand

medico international stands firmly for a just world, advocating alongside those affected by oppression, war, and the exclusion wrought by global capitalism. We believe that the same rights apply to everyone and must be defended universally. Our mission is to create social conditions that foster dignity and justice, ensuring that all individuals can live free from poverty and enjoy the best possible health.

For change

Aid alone cannot overcome the conditions that create hardship and injustice. That is why we advocate for fundamental change. Through our media outreach and public campaigns, we expose the destructive consequences of capitalist and neo-colonial power relations as well as global inequality. We may not always have straightforward or easy answers, but we maintain a clear stance: for us, global solidarity is both a means and an end.

In solidarity

We support the efforts of our partner organisations and emancipatory movements, primarily in the Global South. Our work spans around thirty countries and includes political exchange, which lays the foundation for long-term collaboration and international networks of solidarity. We focus on emergency aid, human rights, displacement and migration, global health, psychosocial work and climate justice.
