Memisa

"Memisa promotes quality basic health care. The main purpose is to provide essential, quality and appropriate care, particularly for the most disadvantaged people, without distinction of race, religion or political persuasion. This is achieved through sustainable development programmes, small-scale initiatives and emergency aid in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Memisa is a christian organisation, which focuses on people, in the first place, the least well-off. It is a "comprehensive approach" of man, ie the general welfare of people in their neighbourhood and not merely the absence of disease. Memisa wants to continue the work of missionaries, who worked in the health sector.

The gradual transfer of responsibilities to promote local autonomy, is central. Therefore Memisa works together with reliable local partners. This is done in an open dialogue based on equality and shared responsibility.

Another dimension is to strengthen the cooperation with other NGO’s and donors and also with other sectors (agriculture, economy and education)." (Memisa Website. Vision and Mission)
