Actions Santé Femmes

Actions Santé Femmes is a French NGO committed to the health of women in great difficulty all around the world.

Founded in 2015 by a team of doctors, midwives and health executives, the association intervenes as best as possible and impartially, respecting universal medical ethics, wherever women need it.
ASF teams intervene in emergency missions for women, but also in training, education and companionship missions in the field of gynaecology and obstetrics.

From 5 to 11 March 2022, Actions Santé Femmes (ASF) conducted an exploratory mission with the association Pompiers Solidaires to analyse the needs and conditions of care for women displaced at the Polish border.

Eurofins Foundation supported the association's priorities:
- To reassure pregnant women on a medical and psychological level;
- Preventing sexual violence, which is unfortunately frequent and common in exodus situations.

The ASF team set up a programme: "Ukrainian Women's Health", including a gynaecology and obstetrics consultation unit in a transit camp, with an interpreter, for pregnancy care. Should specialised care be required patients are transferred to the hospital in Przemysl.

Emergency deliveries may be considered, but this is not the aim of the mission.
