Medical Doctors For Choice (MDFC), is an organization of medical doctors who believe that sexual reproductive health, rights and Justice matter. We believe that people have the right to choose confidently their appropriate way of controlling birth and medical doctors have a responsibility to follow their patients' lead and support them in receiving their option efficiently and safely. We legally and safely advocate, inform and serve. Medical Doctors For Choice (MDFC) was founded by the Alumni of Medical Students for Choice (MSFC), Rwanda chapter. Medical Students for Choice aims at creating tomorrow’s pro-choice physicians and contributes to training medical students about comprehensive sexual and reproductive health in a clinical setting with a special focus on safe abortion. MDFC represents the opinions, ideas and services of medical doctors who chose to dedicate their profession in providing SRHRJ services to save lives. MDFC partners with organizations with a shared goal to create a positive impact.

On this #WorldMentalHealthDay, “Mental Health at Work,” it’s essential that our workplaces prioritize mental well-being alongside physical safety. In healthcare, where stress and burnout are prevalent, creating environments that offer peer support, stress management tools, workers motivation and accessible mental health resources is crucial. This shift will allow healthcare professionals to thrive, not just survive, in their demanding roles. Let’s advocate for workplaces that actively support the mental health of all healthcare workers and make it a priority. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthAtWork #HealthcareWellness Sida | Global Fund for Women | Lever for Change | The Johns Hopkins University - Carey Business School | AASAP | Rwanda Women Doctors For Reproductive Justice | Health Development Initiative (HDI) | African Population and Health Research Center | Mental Health America
