The World Doctors Orchestra (WDO) combines the joy of great music with global medical responsibility. Founded in 2008, the orchestra has grown from 60 participants from 12 countries in the first session to more than 2,000 doctors from 60 countries. By 2023, WDO has performed 40 concert sessions all over the world, raising nearly 2 million Euros in donations for medical charity. The WDO is set up as an independent non-profit association driven by the spirit of the orchestra members. Although all of the physicians share a passion for music, the driving force behind WDO is the conviction that neither national borders nor political or economic interests should limit access to adequate healthcare. With its series of charity concerts, WDO strives to raise global awareness that healthcare is a basic human right and a precondition for human development. The commitment of its participants, friends, and supporters has led to WDO becoming the leading international doctors' orchestra.
