Doctors of the World

Every week, our UK clinics treat people sleeping on the streets because their immigration status blocks support. The longer they’re out there, the sicker people get. “Everyone in for Christmas” must include everyone, @andyburnham.bsky.social. Share to hold him to his word.

Forget flying cars. We want a world where the right to health is respected. 📸Reuters #HealthcareIsAHumanRight

Three years into the genocide in Gaza, and one year after a so-called ceasefire was announced, the humanitarian crisis continues. Our new report documents what the genocide and the Israeli army's blockade are doing to Palestinians' health. Read it here: tinyurl.com/y3zh3k96

🚨The one in, one out UK-France deal is due to end tomorrow. We welcome this news. This route was never a genuine safe route. It was: ❌A dangerous trade in human lives ❌Reliant on immigration detention ❌Retraumatising and harmful www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... 1/🧵

As the government reopens safe routes for some, two women and a 10-year-old child died trying to cross the Channel. Reopening these routes is welcome. But safe routes for some isn't enough. The UK must do more to play its part in protecting refugees.

Go quiet for 3 months and you can be deregistered from your GP, prescriptions cut off too. GP practice's are calling the process "seriously flawed." The most at-risk are the exact people who need care most. We call for an end to this aggressive patient list cleaning.

1,925 people supported. 83% helped onto NHS care. 2,600+ GP practices now Safe Surgeries. 13,000 consultations/week in Gaza. That's what your support built in 2025 ➡️ tinyurl.com/2rd3ekba

When healthcare systems fail, our medical teams step in. Conflict zones. Migration routes. UK clinics. No questions asked. Nobody should be left without care. Make your care count with a regular gift 👉 tinyurl.com/yc6brp2t

🚨 Manchester people! TOMORROW, the Council will vote on a motion saying #NoPalantirInTheNHS. Both Manchester-based NHS Trusts currently use Palantir's Federated Data Platform (FDP). Let's ensure that changes. Ask your Councillor to back the motion 👇 www.emailyourmp.com/palantir.htm

GP practices are cutting ties with the NHS Federated Data Platform built by Palantir, the US firm arming ICE with patient health data. Sharing patient data with immigration enforcement keeps sick people from doctors. Palantir poisons the whole system. Good on them for drawing the line.

💔💔 Heartbreaking account from an RNLI volunteer. It reminds us that most people in the UK are kind & compassionate. A tiny minority want to stoke fear & racism & receive outsized coverage. They aren't the majority. Diversity is the strength of our country Diversity is the strength of our communities

Climate change is a deadly reality. 350+ people killed after flash floods on the Nepal-Tibet border, triggered by glacial collapse. Homes and essential services destroyed. Our thoughts are with everyone affected.

👀Tommy Robinson’s right hand man Danny ‘Tommo’ Thomas says his new anti-migrant vigilante group exists to protect women and children. So obviously we know what comes next: several of the men he personally “handpicked” have criminal convictions, including for violence against women.

The UK must act for Sudan. Last year El Fasher fell to Sudan's RSF. The United Nations confirmed it was genocide. Now another city, El Obeid, faces the same threat. The UK has the power to act, and isn't. Add your name to demand action 🔗 tinyurl.com/ntzcj9ph

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, aid work has never been more dangerous. There have been 945 attacks on healthcare this year alone. These attacks must stop. And stop going unpunished. International humanitarian law must be respected. Governments must protect humanitarian workers.

We needed you and you didn't let us down. Since the Colombia earthquake hit, you've helped us raise over £2800. That's medical teams reaching Chocó, Nariño, Cauca and Antioquia when people needed them most. The need is still huge. Please keep giving if you can. Donate: tinyurl.com/2yhu6hsv

"Written to be lived, not just read" That's how our Participation Lead Hassan Hussain describes Sohail Jannesari's new book on migrant mental health. Hassan shares 5 reasons The Migrant Art of Coping belongs on your 2026 reading list 👇

📍#Colombia: Our medical teams are in Chocó, at the earthquake's epicentre. 7 health facilities were damaged, leaving healthcare under immense strain. Our teams are restoring health services, providing urgent aid, sanitation and medical resources. The need is growing. Support now shorturl.at/spOU7

The housing emergency has created an expensive, poor quality and divisive asylum accommodation system. So 51 organisations have written to Andy Burnham to tell him he already has the answers to housing all people in need. Our letter is on his desk. https://bit.ly/4fRRMHw

This is the worst most of us will face this summer 👇 Climate breakdown is destroying 9 of the top 10 countries people flee to reach safety in the UK. But it's not grounds for asylum. Our care is unconditional because healthcare is a human right ➡️ shorturl.at/NXp1B

Doctors and nurses are treating illnesses caused by living in asylum accommodation. Let that sink in. Mould. Damp. Collapsed ceilings. Children living in it for months. Healthcare is a human right. So is a roof over your head that doesn't poison you.

Today we brought 219 organisations together to call for the end to the hostile politics and divisive rhetoric that have dehumanised people seeking asylum. Read the letter and get involved by visiting our website: togetherwithrefugees.org.uk/press-releas... #TogetherWithRefugees

Now you're PM, choose humanity, Andy Burnham. No more politics of division. No more pandering to hate. We're done watching hostile policies and intimidation keep our patients from getting the healthcare they need. @refugeestogether.bsky.social

🔴 Mass asylum camps are a healthcare violation. For a year we ran a clinic at Wethersfield ex-military site, treating men seeking safety. 68% were survivors of violence. 62% had severe mental distress. 30% suicidal. The Home Office MUST #CloseTheCamps & scrap ALL plans to open more.

Shutting people seeking sanctuary in ex-military barracks is dangerous, traumatising and cruel. And every night in barracks costs over FIVE TIMES more than a night in a home in a community. So can anyone explain why the Government wants to open MORE camps?

Our charity places for #TCSLondonMarathon 2027 are live. Right now. No ballot involved. Just you deciding that healthcare shouldn't be up for negotiation. Apply today and fundraise for healthcare access for people who need it, in the UK and worldwide ➡️ tinyurl.com/ehacacjs

This debt will cost people their health. £10,000, charged for support received while banned from working. The Government's debt will pressure people into unsafe work, housing, and poorer health just to pay it off. It's the same trap as NHS charging. You cannot punish people for seeking safety.

Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. Sweden was found to have violated that right by charging migrants for medical care. The UK Government does the same with NHS treatment. It's time the UK was held to the same standard.

Two earthquakes. 7.2 and 7.5 magnitude. Seconds apart. Our teams are on the ground. Rescuing people trapped beneath the rubble, delivering emergency care, and working to restore access to healthcare. #Venezuela needs the world to act now ➡️ tinyurl.com/447pj2mm

Every day in our clinics, we meet people too scared to get the healthcare they need. New @healthfoundation.bsky.social evidence confirms that charging migrants for care and sharing data with the Home Office is keeping people away from treatment. The NHS must not be an immigration enforcement tool.

The EU approved far-right plans to share medical data with immigration enforcement for deportations. This is how trust in healthcare is destroyed. Fear of detention and deportation pushes people away from the care they need. We strongly condemn this inhumane policy.
