Forums for Reflection and Learning

In our Forums for Reflection and Learning, our members learn with and from each other and work on approaches that are fit for the future. By bringing together science and civil society, we create a knowledge base which promotes critical reflection on international health cooperation practice and helps develop it further. MMS shares the resulting knowledge within and beyond its network.

Decolonize Health Cooperation: A community of practice jointly hosted by the Networks MMS and MMI

The project of this Community of Practice is rooted in the Study “Swiss NGOs engaged in international health cooperation: How to respond to the call for decolonization?” published by the Network Medicus Mundi Switzerland in 2023, and in related interactions. The study took up the proposal expressed by several Network members to set up a Community of Practice on decolonizing health cooperation.

MMS Workshops

MMS organises workshops on international health cooperation practice. These workshops are designed to address topics currently of concern to our member organisations.

Lessons learned from nimble adaptations to organisations’ responses to the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs of adolescents in the context of the COVID-19 crisis.

Case studies gathered by the Department of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Research (SRH) and the Human Reproduction Program (HRP)

MMS Studies

Working with our member organisations, MMS develops framework documents on international health cooperation practice to underpin joint learning and self-critical reflection. To improve the health situation around the world, we must expand our knowledge, develop new instruments and make optimal use of the data and experience collected in the field to generate the right conclusions for the further development of our work.

Panel on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)

Our thematic panel on sexual and reproductive health (SRHR) discusses and develops new approaches to support this key area of health in international cooperation. The panel focuses on improving access to sexual and reproductive health services, something which is still proving to be a challenge around the world, particularly in low and middle-income countries. Strengthening the rights of women and girls and promoting equality between men and women are further key focuses of this panel.

Implementation Research Platform

Our Implementation Research Platform strengthens this discipline among our own member organisations and also among Swiss organisations involved in international health cooperation in general.
