Turkey: Medical coordinator (M/F)

Under the direct supervision of General Coordinator of Turkey/Syria and in close collaboration with the HQ Medical Advisor, the follow up of the programme will be done in link with the Emergency Desk Officer and the Associative Head of Mission (RM).

For more than 30 years, Médecins du Monde, a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations at home and abroad. It has continued to highlight obstacles that exist in accessing health care 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 currently works in 40 countries across all continents where it focuses on 4 priority areas: caring for the health of migrants and displaced persons, promoting sexual and reproductive health, combating HIV and reducing the harm and risks associated with drug use, crises and conflicts.

MdM's Turkey / Syria mission gradually grew around three main objectives:

-Provision of emergency primary health care services, basic reproductive health services, and mental health support to displaced and vulnerable population.

-Provision of emergency medical relief/support to doctors working inside Syria through partnership with Syrian NGO's.

-Provision of quality postoperative and rehabilitative care in Turkey and Syria. The first operational tent to provide basic care services for people of the camp was set up on the 24th of October 2012 in northern Idlib governorate.
