Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) works in conflict zones, after natural disasters, during epidemics, in long-term care settings, and more.

Our teams provide medical care for millions of patients every year in many different types of projects.

MSF often hits the headlines when an emergency dominates the news, such as an earthquake, tsunami, or war. But we are constantly responding to urgent humanitarian needs, from disaster response to longer-term medical programs.

MSF was officially created on December 22, 1971. At the time, 300 volunteers made up the organization: doctors, nurses, and other staff, including the 13 founding doctors and journalists.

MSF was created on the belief that all people have the right to medical care regardless of gender, race, religion, creed, or political affiliation, and that the needs of these people outweigh respect for national boundaries.
