Our mission

Precariousness should never be an obstacle to care.

Aboard the Mobile Clinic, outreach nurses, accompanied by a volunteer, meet with people experiencing homelessness on the streets, in parks and in shelters. They provide care and listen without judgment, away from prying eyes and in complete safety.

Referral to health professionals or community organizations

The Clinic also allows them to create a connection with these individuals, sometimes struggling with mental health or substance use issues, and to refer them to community organizations, doctors and health professionals with whom they can develop a trusting relationship. This approach helps build a bridge between these individuals and the public health system.

Doctors of the World Canada is committed to fighting frameworks that stigmatize and criminalize excluded individuals, so they can fully exercise their fundamental rights and equitably access public health and social services systems. Our fight: Precariousness and exclusion
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Some situations do not exactly match the criteria, but we may still be able to help. Select your situation.

Our services are for:
Indigenous people in urban areas;
Sex workers;
Men who have sex with men (MSM);
People identifying as part of an LGBTQ2S+ group;
People who use injection and inhalation drugs (PWUD);
Etc.
The Mobile Clinic’s intervention neighbourhoods are determined based on the needs of the people targeted by our interventions and the degree of accessibility to the health system. Doctors of the World always collaborates with community organizations already established in the neighbourhoods where clinical outings take place to properly identify the needs of the targeted population. And since each neighbourhood has its own unique identity, our nurses work alongside street-based outreach workers to reach people directly in the environments they frequent, facilitate their access to health care, and ensure an intervention better adapted to the needs identified by these individuals. The contribution of our community partners and volunteers is essential to our intervention model.
