medico international

Founded in 1968 in Frankfurt am Main, medico international works in solidarity with partner organisations mainly in Africa, Asia and Latin America for a just world. In 1997, medico was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize as co-initiator of the campaign to ban landmines. medico is politically independent and non-denominational. The non-profit organisation’s work is largely funded by donations and grants and shored up by the medico Foundation, guaranteeing the independence of our political work.
