More information
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was established in 1971 by a small group of French doctors who had worked in Biafra. Today, we are the world's leading independent international medical relief organisation, with 5 operational centres in Europe and 14 national sections worldwide. Our mandate concerns emergency relief, we launch our operations in areas where there is no medical infrastructure or where the existing one cannot withstand the pressure to which it is subjected. For more than 35 years, we have been providing medical help to people caught in many kinds of catastrophes: armed conflicts, natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, epidemics of disease, and famines. All these situations call for rapid response with specialised medical and logistical help. We are renowned for our quick response and efficient, effective work in the toughest emergencies.
