Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is a global network of principled
medical and other professionals who specialise in medical
humanitarian work, driven by our common humanity and
guided by medical ethics.
We work together in teams, small and large, to respond to the
medical needs of people affected by conflict, disasters and
epidemics and people excluded from healthcare.
We strive to practically provide medical care that matches the
realities of patients, adapting care in order to be relevant and
specific. At times, this may include partnering with other individuals
and organisations, and working with local experts.
MSF team members are on the ground, working directly for and
alongside patients every day.
We bear witness and describe what is happening to raise
awareness about the experiences of the people we assist and the
situations where we work. We alert the public to emerging crises,
acute emergencies and serious challenges, such as exclusion from
healthcare. We mobilise support for MSF’s work and social mission.
We communicate to provoke change.
