Doctors for Madagascar was founded in 2011 with the aim of improving access to quality medical care in Madagascar
Our Partners
The two core groups of partners in all our work are healthcare providers, offering frontline health services and the communities we serve.
Health Workers
Frontline health workers are the cornerstone of our work.
We work with dedicated and motivated health workers to identify challenges, design interventions, and implement projects.
We work with hundreds of health workers across all levels of care, from community health workers to specialist doctors. Our goal is to ensure that these professionals are well-equipped to meet the needs of their communities.
Communities
We believe that meaningful change can only happen, when communities are directly involved.
We therefore work directly with over 200 communities in Southern Madagascar, focusing on those communities that are hardest to reach and most often missed by the existing healthcare system. Through ongoing dialogue and collaboration with community leaders, and community health workers, we build strong relationships with the communities we serve to identify their healthcare needs and challenges. This ensures that our projects are grounded in real-world needs and create lasting positive impacts.
Aside from these two core groups of partners, we work with a variety of public, implementation, and academic partners in Madagascar and beyond.
