Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders)

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders, is an international humanitarian organization founded in 1971. It provides medical assistance in crisis situations, such as war zones, natural disasters, and epidemics. Comprising volunteer doctors, nurses, and other professionals, MSF delivers urgent healthcare, often in remote areas where local facilities are overwhelmed or unavailable. The organization operates independently, focusing on impartiality, neutrality, and patient care, regardless of nationality, race, or political beliefs. MSF also advocates for access to medical treatment and raises awareness about health crises affecting vulnerable populations worldwide.
