About

REAL IMPACT ISN’T ACHIEVED THROUGH CONVENIENT ACTIVISM.
They answer the crisis from within the crisis, seek out marginalized populations, and build long-term, sustainable healthcare infrastructures in places society would prefer to ignore.

Doctors of the World is an international human rights organization providing emergency and long-term medical care to vulnerable people. When the crisis is over and the cameras leave, they stay for as long as it takes to build better medical infrastructures. They seek out and defend the inconveniently unhealthy and target underlying medical issues.

They don’t drop in for quick fixes—they empower local communities and build sustainable, robust healthcare infrastructures, both here in the US and abroad. They believe that access to consistent, quality medical care isn’t a privilege but a human right.

SINCE 2018, DOCTORS OF THE WORLD USA HAS WORKED IN THE FIELD OF GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION

They support the field of urban violence prevention by developing programming, resources, and training opportunities with community partners. By using a public health led social justice approach, DotW works with partners to identify effective methods, interventions and approaches to reduce violence in American communities.

Doctors of the World identifies unmet needs within the field of urban violence prevention, including areas where they can be most effective addressing gaps in service delivery.
