Who are we

History of Polish Medical Mission

Since 1999, Polish Medical Mission has been aiding those most in need. The association was founded by a group of Polish doctors and nurses. The immediate impetus that led to its establishment was the humanitarian disaster caused by the outbreak of war in Kosovo and the mass exodus of Albanians from conflict-affected areas.

The mission of the association is to improve the quality of life by conducting medical interventions and implementing humanitarian programs that build local capacity in communities in need of support worldwide.

Our strategy

Polish Medical Mission assists victims of wars, disasters, and catastrophes. The association’s actions are based on the work of humanitarian workers and volunteers: doctors, paramedics, nurses, physiotherapists, as well as psychologists and medical analysts.

We are one of the few Polish non-governmental organizations providing medical assistance. Our work is long-term in nature – it brings lasting changes to the communities we support. We conduct training for doctors in hospitals in Africa and Asia with doctors from Poland. In the Middle East, we help refugees in camps. We provide medical care to pregnant women and young children. This group is the most vulnerable to the tragic consequences of humanitarian crises. We achieve our goals not only through direct medical assistance but also through education, humanitarian aid, and development for the most affected and needy.
