Description
Doctors in the World is a human rights organization that works for everyone's right to care. We do this through care interventions, psychosocial support and legal advice. Our starting point is that health is a human right.
In Sweden, we are located in eight locations from Luleå in the north to Malmö in the south. There we help people to get access to their rights and where necessary we provide care to people who otherwise do not get it. Every year, we help over 2,000 people get the right to care or counseling.
Many of those we meet have a hard time getting the right to the protection and security they are entitled to under the conventions Sweden has committed to follow. We therefore also provide legal assistance and psychosocial support with a strong focus on children and young people, especially suicide prevention. Many of the adults we help have families.
