Logistics coordinator (F/M)
Description du poste
For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde (MdM), a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad. It has continued to bear witness to obstacles that exist in accessing healthcare 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 France currently works in 30 countries across all continents to facilitate access to healthcare through 6 political battles:
- Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights
- Migration, Exile, Human Rights and Health
- Harm Reduction
- Environment and Health
- Humanitarian Space
- Healthcare systems and rights
MdM International Network has been operating in Ukraine since 2014, improving access to health care, especially providing comprehensive Primary Health Care (PHC), Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) and Mental Health and Psychosocial support (MHPSS) services.
Since February 2022, MdM Spain is leading the country response for the network, while MdM-France is in charge of the operations in Southern Ukraine. The global strategy aims at ensuring the access to quality comprehensive healthcare services for the conflict-affected population in Ukraine.
In Southern Ukraine, MdM-France has set up its country office and a base office in Mykolaiv. An office in Odesa is still running for specific activities monitoring in Odesa. The program consists in supporting various local-based organizations in the delivery of health services for people facing severe constraints to healthcare in Mykolaev and Kherson Oblasts.
Living conditions in Mykolaiv are pleasant (access to restaurants, presence of other organizations, places to relax…).
Expats share modern, well-equiped guesthouse. However, there are strict security rules (curfew imposed by the authorities) and a volatile environment (regular activation of air alerts).
