About Médecins du Monde
Médecins du Monde (MdM) is an international humanitarian organization dedicated to delivering medical care to vulnerable populations worldwide, including within France. Its mission is driven by the voluntary engagement of healthcare professionals and experts across diverse fields. MdM mobilizes this collective expertise to implement impactful health projects while prioritizing strong, collaborative relationships with the communities it serves.
MdM has been active in Tanzania since 1992, beginning with HIV/AIDS development projects and community health initiatives. In 2010, MdM shifted its focus to harm reduction services for people who use drugs. It launched the first comprehensive harm reduction programme in Temeke, Dar es Salaam, which significantly reduced HIV and other infectious diseases among people who inject drugs.
By 2021, MdM was serving as a technical partner supporting the expansion of harm reduction programmes locally and in neighbouring countries. In 2022, MdM began providing sexual and reproductive health services to adolescents and vulnerable groups in urban and rural areas, working in partnership with local organizations and health facilities.
The CUTTS HEP C project
MdM, together with partners including the University of Bristol, Burnet Institute, INPUD and local groups in Dar es Salaam, implements the CUTTS HEP C project to support Tanzania’s hepatitis eradication efforts through:
Introducing cost-effective HCV prevention tools, including long-acting buprenorphine and low dead-space syringes.
Creating accessible Hepatitis C care models for people who inject drugs (PWID).
Providing evidence to help shape national policy.
Supporting PWID communities through involvement and community-led monitoring.
MdM Tanzania also provides harm reduction technical assistance in Rwanda. In Rwanda, MdM participates in a three-year harm reduction project known as TUBITEHO, running from October 2023 to September 2026, alongside four other stakeholders.

Expand harm reduction initiatives to newly identified regions through partnerships.
