What we do
Medical Volunteers and its partners / predecessor have been providing medical care to displaced people since 2016. A few of us started in April 2016 when one of us was volunteering in Idomeni camp and saw the urgent need for basic health care. On returning to Hamburg, he worked with friends to plan what was very soon to become a NGO for Medical Volunteers.
Just a few months later, after procuring an ambulance and some donated medical supplies, we drove to Thessaloniki and the idea of Medical Volunteers was born. Soon, volunteers started arriving and it wasn’t long before Medical Volunteers was offering treatment to up to 250 refugees per day in Thessaloniki. Since then, Medical Volunteers and its predecessor have worked in Lesvos (since March 2017) and Athens (since May 2017). We are proud of our international, English-speaking team and our hard work towards our mission of providing free medical care to people who would otherwise be left without it.
Make a difference with your donation!
Donate now!
Why donate? We rely on donations to buy medical equipment, disposables and medication. We keep our overhead costs to the absolute minimum. With your support we are able to provide primary health care to displaced people where no one else does. Approximately 50% of our patients are unregistered refugees and are not eligible for local health services. This is why our work is so important!

We are happy about every donation that helps us fulfil our lawful purpose, namely helping people in need! If you make a donation intended for a specific project or for one of our locations, we will make every effort to use it for that purpose.
If this is not possible, your donation will be used for other projects or locations that are also in need of funding.
The easiest way to help us is with a so-called “general” donation, i.e. a donation that does not have a specific purpose. To do this, you can simply state the keyword “worldwide aid” when making your donation.
