Doctors of the Wolrd
Our vision is a world where barriers to healthcare have been overcome, where healthcare is acknowledged as a fundamental right. We work to ensure states uphold their commitments to provide equal and equitable access to quality healthcare services and medicines for everyone.
ABOUT US: 

Our services include our clinic, adviceline and outreach work, offering primary care and health and social advice from volunteers for excluded people such as asylum seekers, undocumented migrants, homeless people, and sex workers.

We also signpost our patients to other services, including housing advice, destitution support and specialist counselling.

WHY OUR WORK MATTERS: 

We empower refugees and migrants to access health services in the UK and abroad, advocate for national health systems to be more flexible and inclusive, and educate health professionals about how to engage effectively with migrant communities.

OUR VALUES: 
Activism
Balance
Empowerment
Social Justice
Independence
WHAT WE LOOK FOR IN OUR PEOPLE: 
  • The desire to help people in vulnerable situations
  • Non-judgmental attitude towards people from diverse backgrounds.
  • Knowledge of the UK healthcare system.

 

Our committed, enthusiastic and impactful team is always looking to for new volunteers to join us. Our volunteers come from all walks of life. If you are welcoming, passionate about upholding rights to healthcare, enjoy challenges and working in a team, then consider joining us! Please apply via our website.
