Médecins du Monde Finance coordinator (M/F) - Uganda Vacancies

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 more than 40 countries across all continents where it focuses on 5 priority areas: emergency and crisis, sexual and reproductive health, harm reduction, migrants and displaced populations (health rights), health and environment.

From the 1990s until 2005, MdM ran HIV/AIDS programs, including support to orphans, in the districts of Rakaï and Kyotera, with technical and financial support to the hospital of Kakuto for HIV counselling and testing.

Since 2015, MdM has been supporting the local organization MARPI (Most At-Risk Populations) through grants and training. Since 2009, MARPI has been running a health facility located in the Mulago national referral hospital in Kampala, which provides free health services to the key populations, including sexual minorities and gender identities. MdM provided MARPI staff with training on proctology.

In July 2017, a fact-finding mission was conducted in the South Sudanese refugee settlement of Bidibidi, northern Uganda, where the French section of MSF has been present since 2016.

MSF handed over the OPD activities to MdM in July 2018. It is planned for MdM to take over the IPD activities in April 2019. Then a two-year transition process will start leading to a handover of Bolomoni HC III to the Yumbe District Health Office by March 2021 at the latest.
