1. Access to Medical Care 2011Access to medical care for everybody, everywhere in the world. This is what Dokters van deWereld fights for. This ambition was put under pressure in 2011, amongst others by the bill ofthe administration to criminalize illegality. Dokters van de Wereld spoke out against this bill,because the threat of criminalization for people without residence permit would make it moredifficult for them to realise their right to healthcare. We are pleased the bill has been rejected.One of the most important challenges was formed by the fact that Dokters van de Wereld didnot belong to one of the coalitions which received Dutch government support in the form of cofinancingSystem (MFS). This represented about 1 million euro less income per year forinternational projects, and has compelled us to take further measures to diversify thefundraising. Just like in 2010 we heavily invested in direct mailing and telemarketing, but alsodoor to door fundraising to acquire structural support for the organisation. We have alsoinvested in inheritances and events, especially for Operation Smile, for which more people canbe mobilised. In the coming years we will expand this and increase the visibility and thefinancial support of the organisation through this program.Growth in strength and expertise by focussing on programsTo achieve growth in strength and expertise we focussed on a range of programs under ourown implementation, in addition to raising funds for our French sister organisation. In thecoming years we will focus on obtaining the access to care for undocumented migrants in theNetherlands and the care for mothers and children living in precarious conditions in developingcountries. Additionally we will continue to expand Operation Smile project, in cooperation withDutch University Hospitals.Medoc - access to care for undocumented migrantsIn 2011 we opened a new consultation practice in Amsterdam Zuid Oost, which has begun withthe inscription of undocumented migrants in general practices in addition to the existingactivities of providing information, mediation and outreach. At national level we have more thandoubled the total number of patient consultations compared to 2010: 1367 consults in 2011 vs.643 in 2010.More positive news is that we were able to increase the number of successful mediations to84% (this was 49% in 2010). The accessibility of dental care is particularly bad in theNetherlands: dentists where responsible for 23% of the total number of denials of care.Dokters van de Wereld ran into several situations where patients where forced to pull their ownmolars.Together with other associations which denounce the issues of refugees and human rights inthe Netherlands, Dokters van de Wereld has created a network. These organisations ensurethe basic human rights of undocumented migrants in the Netherlands are guaranteed, despitethe fact they are labelled as illegal by the government.Care for mother and childThe focus of our work lies in developing and implementing sustainable mother and child careprograms such as we do in Aceh, Indonesia. We have developed training on demand, trainlocal medical staff and eventually facilitate so-called 'health committees' on community level in28 villages. The local citizens themselves contribute to the actions to prevent and resolvebottlenecks in care through these committees. Dokters van de Wereld supports them withpreventive means to be ready for the birth. Dokters van de Wereld is also actively connectingthe communities to the existing local health care services. This way we strengthen the selfrelianceof the communities in obtaining medical care.3
