Doctors Without Borders (MSF)

We are Doctors Without Borders, an international, independent medical humanitarian organisation.

We help people worldwide where the need is greatest, delivering emergency medical aid in refugee camps to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare. Our teams are made up of tens of thousands of health professionals, logistics and administrative staff – bound together by our charter.  Our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality. We are a non-profit, self-governed, member-based organisation.

MSF was founded in 1971 in Paris by a group of journalists and doctors. Today, we are a worldwide movement of more than 42,000 people.
