Social Clinics are autonomous community-based healthcare collectives that provide primary healthcare services. We believe that healthcare inequities are intertwined with other forms of social and economic marginalization and exclusion. As such, they need to be confronted politically.

Social Clinics operate autonomously and are self-managed. Our goal is to challenge conventional organizational structures through innovative practices that encompass everyday interactions, processes, and medical procedures. We firmly believe in people’s capacity to organize, self-govern, and collectively make fair and egalitarian decisions concerning their work, health, and lives. Social Clinics serve as a radical political model, offering a vision of a more equitable, just, consistent, and anti-authoritarian societal structure that can extend beyond healthcare to various domains. If it can be successfully implemented in healthcare, it can be applied anywhere.

Our International Network of Social Clinics (INOSC) wants to connect collectives operating in different contexts, but united by a common vision of how to rethink and change healthcare and our communities. We are committed to broadening our struggles, sharing our knowledge, experiences, and practices.
