AMSES Martinique, the Association Médicale de Sauvegarde de l’Environnement et de la Santé, is a Martinique-based nonprofit founded in April 2010 under France’s 1901 association law. Composed exclusively of physicians practicing in Martinique, it applies medical and scientific expertise to protect public health and the local environment. Its work focuses on raising awareness, preventing health risks, addressing pollution, and sharing reliable information on environmental health issues, including the effects of chlordécone.

AMSES organizes public events, expert conferences, colloquia, and educational activities, and publishes resources to help people understand health and environmental concerns. Its recent initiatives include a citizen-focused chlordécone day in Gros-Morne and a multidisciplinary conference at the Schœlcher campus, bringing together specialists in areas such as child health, biology, and fishing. The association also shares event recordings, expert contributions, and educational videos through its YouTube channel, alongside updates via its website and WhatsApp community.

Run by volunteers, AMSES welcomes support through donations and invites physicians who share its commitment to get involved
