medico international schweiz is a Swiss non-profit association that supports grassroots health and human rights initiatives and social movements in the Global South and in Palestine/Israel. It works with local partner organisations in regions including Central America, Cuba, Vietnam, Kurdistan and Palestine/Israel, focusing on basic health care, women's projects, self-help groups of people with disabilities, and psychosocial health. Alongside project funding, it runs advocacy campaigns, for example calling on the Swiss Federal Council to act against Israel's death penalty law, and relies largely on volunteers in Switzerland. The association's origins date back to 1937, linked to the Spanish Civil War.
