The important role of non-governmental organisations in aiding third-world countries, some of which focused on health and education problems, is widely acknowledged.

These organisations play an irreplaceable part in many fields, from humanitarian aid in catastrophe and war situations, to preventive medicine and primary care, as well as in professional training.

They all share the same spirit of solidarity and the quest for a better world.
