CHOOSE A PROJECT
Each year, Doctors Worldwide respond to emergency situations around the world and offers aid where needed. We also assess the needs and availability of basic health care in very poor developing countries, with the aim of establishing sustainable health service projects.
The drop down menu below enables you to look at our projects being undertaken in specific countries around the world.
-
Pakistan
DWW has been in Pakistan since 2004. Through our emergency response we provided significant medical aid and expertise during the Kashmir Earthquake and the devastating floods of 2010 and 2011 helping thousands of people. Subsequently we moved into long term and sustainable health development and now work in rural parts of Sind Province focusing on Maternal and Child Health.
-
DR Congo
DWW has been working in the Democratic Republic of Congo since 2004, providing a health care system focused on Maternal Health in Katanga Province, SE Congo. It's a challenging environment; Katanga is 497,000 sq km in size and 16x as large as Belgium. Our new hospital in Lubumbashi is the most modern in the region and acts as a hub for 5 rural maternal and medical centers.
-
Kenya
We started in 2009 in Mombasa, in the Coast Province of Kenya and then expanded to the Lamu Islands. During the Famine in 2011 we also worked in Dadaab in the NE Province. Projects include Eyehealth for older and young people, a new Dental Hospital, Mother & Child Support through rural Health Centres, Nutrition Support and HIV Preventative Circumcision.
-
Syria
For International NGOs and volunteers it's impossible to work directly in Syria since the internal conflict began in March 2011. In a creative and collaborative response, DWW teamed up with British and European Syrian Diaspora medical volunteers to support the development of a new charity called Syria Relief, to deliver emergency food and medical aid to those affected inside Syria.
-
Somalia
During the devastating famine in East Africa in 2011, Turkey took a strong lead in responding to the emergency. Through our Turkish Branch, DWW Turkey, we established Therapeutic Feeding Centres in Mogadishu and with the generosity of corporate and individual donors were able to build and run the first new multi-million$ 60 Bed hospital in the capital for many years.
