Med’EqualiTeam is a French non-profit organization, created in July 2018. Our aim is to provide free health care to displaced populations, who wouldn’t otherwise have access to it due to any kind of barriers or lack of physicians. We are a volunteer based NGO, with most of the staff coming for short period of term in order to support with their medical or translation skills.

We are running since December 2023 a project in Northern Greece, with mobile medical units reaching out to different centers to provide medical consultations. We also run a Health Education program with first aid trainings and sessions about health topics designed for the community.
