Long description of MSF

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organisation, providing lifesaving emergency relief and longer-term medical care to some of the most vulnerable and excluded communities around the world. As an independent organisation, we deliver care based only on need, regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion or political affiliation.

MSF relies on donations from private individuals and organisations for the majority of its income. This private funding gives MSF the freedom to respond where needs are greatest and to speak out publicly, free from political interference.

MSF employs around 40,000 local and international staff working in over 70 countries, in some of the most challenging places in the world. Our projects are supported by teams in 32 countries, including the UK, spread across Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa and Australasia.
