Présentation

Mehad is a French health and international solidarity NGO. Mehad was born in 2011 from the will of a group of doctors to respond to the urgent need to provide healthcare to the populations affected by the war in Syria and in the neighbouring countries.

Mehad is committed to a sustainable health response, which we are helping to build with local actors, to guarantee quality care and long-term social development for vulnerable populations. Mehad carries out vital missions with populations, relying on a network of more than 1,000 health professionals, mobilized from France and all over the world.

Thanks to our detailed knowledge of the needs of the populations and the partnership relationship we have maintained with them for several years, our NGO has developed unique expertise in local emergency, health and development issues.

As long as the populations do not benefit from a sustainable health system, we continue to alert the urgency to act, to inform and challenge public opinion, and remind public decision-makers of their responsibilities in this sense: to take the necessary decisions and measures to improve the condition of the populations we help on the ground.
