Medicus Mundi International – Network Health for All (MMI) is a network of organizations working in the field of international health cooperation and global health. The Network promotes access to health and health care as a fundamental human right and supports the efforts undertaken in this respect by its members. As an international NGO, Medicus Mundi International is a non-state actor in official relations with the World Health Organization.

For the members of Medicus Mundi International Network promoting Health for All means:

• Promoting universal health coverage in a sense of universal, equitable and affordable access to quality health services (promotion, prevention, care and rehabilitation) for all people; as this is essential to the improvement of health, fighting diseases and reducing poverty;
• Promoting strong national health systems with a strong leadership by the government, strong accountability systems and a decisive role of communities and users of health services in the development, management and monitoring of health policies and services at all levels;
• Promoting policies that address the social and political determinants of health, as unfair economic arrangements and poor social programs, unhealthy living conditions, inequality and gender inequity, violence, bad politics and injustice are at the root of ill health and death.
• Linking the local and national with the global level by getting involved in global health policy, global health governance and global governance for health, as many determinants of health and health care lie outside the scope of national policies and programs;
• Promoting health policies and practices that are based on evidence.
• Critically reflecting the role and contributions of international health cooperation to universal access to health, health systems strengthening and global governance for health.

The Network supports its members’ efforts to achieve the shared vision of Health for All through a set of specific contributions as defined by the MMI statutes:

• Enhancing communication and cooperation among members and providing a platform for the development of joint activities, thematic working groups and consortia.
• Fostering an evidence-based approach in the members’ institutional cultures and programs and promoting collaboration between the Network members and research institutions;
• Providing a platform for joint advocacy at a global level, with a focus on the World Health Organization and in close cooperation with other networks and campaigns promoting Health for All;
• Fostering the visibility of the Network members and their activities by publishing their news, reports, statements, events and other contributions.
