About

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders, is an independent international medical humanitarian organization founded in 1971 in France. It provides emergency medical aid to populations affected by armed conflicts, epidemics, natural disasters, and other crises. MSF operates with a commitment to neutrality and independence, ensuring that medical care is delivered without regard to race, religion, or political affiliation. The organization has a rich history of responding to global crises, starting with its first mission in 1972 after an earthquake in Nicaragua. MSF has since expanded its efforts to over 70 countries, offering services such as treatment for war injuries, malnutrition, and epidemics, as well as maternal and child health care. MSF's teams consist of doctors, nurses, and logisticians who adapt their services to meet the needs of vulnerable populations, including refugees and disaster survivors. The organization is primarily funded by private donations, which supports its independence and ability to respond swiftly to emergencies.
