FAIRMED - Health for the Poorest

Our vision is a world in which no one suffers any longer from leprosy and other poverty-related diseases or experiences discrimination because of disease or handicap.Our goal is: •to make health services accessible for the poor and sick. •to enable people to live an independent life despite illness or disability. •to increase the long term independence of poor countries from international aid. •a social and just health policy. •to break the vicious circle of poverty and disease, thereby making a contribution to the achievement of the UN millennium development goals. •to enable disadvantaged people and communities to improve their everyday lives through their own endeavours and thereby play a part in the implementation of the WHO Ottawa Charter. With all our projects, we make a contribution to the accomplishment of these goals.
