Ukraine: The Doctor Who Stayed
We defend health as a human right
At Doctors of the World, we provide medical care to people seeking safety, dignity, and the chance to heal.
As hundreds of millions of people around the world face barriers to healthcare, our international network steps in where others can’t or won’t, bringing essential services, restoring dignity, and defending human rights.
On a journey to care in 75 countries
At Doctors of the World, we believe no one should be denied care because of who they are, where they come from, or the journey they’ve been forced to take. Migrants, refugees, and displaced people now face attacks, discrimination, closed borders, and systems that shut them out of care. That’s why our medical teams go where others don’t—meeting people on the move with safe, reliable care, and working to make it a constant presence, not just a crisis response.
From conflict zones to border clinics, refugee camps to city streets, our providers show up not just as clinicians, but as allies—offering care, building trust, and standing in solidarity with people navigating instability.
Our international network reaches more than 11 million people annually. Behind that number are midwives guiding mothers to safe deliveries, doctors treating families uprooted by conflict, psychologists helping survivors of violence heal, and many more stories of impact.
11 Million reasons to care. Three ways to act.
