Mission Statement
Medecins Sans Frontieres is a collaboration of doctors and donors working together in over 70 countries- to provide emergency medical care to people who might otherwise have none. MSF is a neutral and impartial organisation, we treat patients based on medical need alone, regardless of race, religion or political affiliation. When an emergency hits, from epidemics to natural disasters, we respond immediately. We can deploy resources within hours. We have logistics centres worldwide, with stocks of emergency supplies, such as medical equipment and inflatable operating theatres. However, not everything strikes without warning; some crises are slow and silent. They unfold over years as a disease devastates a population, instability undermines the health system or people are actively excluded from care. Often, after an emergency subsides, communities can find it difficult to access basic healthcare as the region struggles to recover. In such instances, MSF works to deliver primary & secondary health care.
About This Cause
MSF exists to save lives by providing medical aid where it is needed most – in armed conflicts, epidemics, famines and natural disasters. All these situations call for a rapid response with specialised medical and logistical help. But, we also run longer-term projects, tackling health crises and supporting people where the need is greatest. We currently have projects running in almost 70 countries.
