The Primo Levi Centre
The Primo Levi Centre is a leading association specifically dedicated to the care and support of victims of torture and political violence exiled in France. At its care centre in Paris, it welcomes more than 400 people from nearly 50 different countries every year. Drawing on its experience, the Primo Levi Centre educates and trains many professionals working with exiles to promote appropriate care. Finally, it carries out advocacy work to defend access to healthcare and the right to asylum.
Multidisciplinary treatment
The care center
Without claiming to "cure" torture and the after-effects of political violence, the Primo Levi Centre offers multidisciplinary care (medical, psychological, physiotherapeutic, social and legal), if necessary with an interpreter, to improve the physical and mental well-being of its patients. To live, not just survive.
