New Head of Office for MSF Ireland

Jane-Ann McKenna, the new Head of Office of Médecins Sans Frontières Ireland, talks to Ronnie O'Brien of NEAR FM about her work with the organisation and the challenges ahead.

Jane-Ann joins the Dublin-based team having worked overseas with MSF in Darfur (pictured right), Sri Lanka, Kyrgyzstan, and Central African Republic in coordination roles. 

Welcoming her appointment, the Chairman of Médecins Sans Frontières Dr. Simon Collins remarked “Jane-Ann brings both extensive field experience and proven leadership skills to her new role. Her experience spans the range of MSF project types, from long-term health programmes to emergency interventions in conflict areas.”

“She is an example of the growing number of Irish professionals who are taking on more senior roles within the MSF organisation internationally. She is ideally placed to lead our team in Dublin, communicating MSF’s message of the right to healthcare and advocating for those we help”.
