EMA in the Media

As a refugee led organisation it is in our DNA to speak up and stand with our community. On several occasions and platforms we have advocated for healthcare as a basic human right for all. Below you can find a selection of articles and videos that feature our story and the story of our communities, as well as the human rights award Dr Feras received for his work in 2021.

The videos are individually linked below, but if you scroll down, you can watch the videos directly on this page.
