Nouvelles MMS du 11.11.2025

"Lorsque le profit prime sur la vie, la santé devient une marchandise. Le symposium MMS a montré comment les structures du pouvoir économique favorisent non seulement les maladies, mais affaiblissent également la capacité des communautés à se protéger."

Quand les marchés rendent malades : ce que le symposium MMS a révélé

Le symposium MMS portant sur les déterminants commerciaux de la santé vient de s'achever. Sous différents points de vue, les intervenant.e.s ont montré comment la recherche du profit maximal favorise la propagation mondiale de produits nocifs pour la santé. Ceux-ci contribuent de manière significative à la propagation croissante des maladies non transmissibles et pèsent ainsi sur les systèmes de santé. Jochen Ehmer, médecin expérimenté chez SolidarMed, a décrit de manière impressionnante comment le tableau clinique a considérablement changé à cet égard en Afrique sub-saharien au cours des 25 dernières années. La recherche du profit a également une conséquence directe sur les soins de santé, comme l'a expliqué la juriste Labila Sumayah Musoke. En Ouganda, comme ailleurs, la privatisation des soins de santé se poursuit avec des fonds publics, ce qui conduit à des investissements inappropriés dans le secteur de la santé.

Les déterminants sociaux en jeu

La recherche du profit conduit également à l'exploitation des planteurs de café au Brésil, comme l'a expliqué Carla Hoinkes de Public Eye. Cet exemple montre comment les déterminants sociaux sont liés aux déterminants commerciaux. Ce n'est que lorsque les populations concernées disposent de droits suffisants, d'une protection sanitaire et sociale, d'un droit de regard et donc d'un pouvoir, qu'elles peuvent résister aux structures économiques néfastes pour la santé.

Communautés résistantes

Pour cela, il faut donner aux gens les moyens de décider eux-mêmes de leur propre santé. Le film Don Benjamìn, coproduit par Medicus Mundi Espagne, a été source d'encouragement. Il a montré comment le brûlis pratiqué dans l'Amazonie bolivarienne par de grandes entreprises, qui veulent surtout acquérir les terres agricoles des petits paysans pour la production de viande, menace directement la santé pulmonaire, en particulier celle des enfants. Simultanément, la communauté concernée se défend en reboisant de manière systématique et dans un travail de Sisyphe.

Le symposium a également abordé le rôle de la Suisse, notamment lors d'une discussion avec Frédéric Payot, représentant du SECO, qui travaille dans le domaine du commerce mondial. Une discussion qui a pu mettre en évidence des approches montrant comment la responsabilité en matière de santé pourrait être renforcée dans les accords commerciaux. Une approche qui sera poursuivie par Medicus Mundi Suisse.

From Research to Impact: Tackling Female Genital Schistosomiasis

"Female Genital Schistosomiasis (FGS), a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic infection, affects an estimated 50 million women and girls, with another 150 million at risk. Despite its devastating impact including infertility, pregnancy complications, increased HIV risk, and social exclusion, FGS remains largely invisible in medical curricula, public health programmes, and global health priorities. Swiss TPH is part of the new African-European initiative WINGS-4-FGS, aimed at improving care for women suffering from this disease."

"Bacterial pathogens becoming resistant to antibiotics is well known. But resistance is also emerging among parasites — including those that cause malaria. As existing medicines lose effectiveness, researchers from Swiss TPH and the Helmholtz Institute for Pharmaceutical Research Saarland (HIPS) and partners have developed a new drug candidate that can kill malaria parasites even when standard treatments fail. The findings were published in Angewandte Chemie."
