We provide assistance to populations in distress, to victims of natural or man-made disasters, and to victims of armed conflict. We do so irrespective of race, religion, creed, or political convictions.

By securing over 89% of funding from individual citizens, MSF maintains complete autonomy from military, economic, or foreign policy agendas. Our teams evaluate medical need directly on the ground.

We care for the most critically ill first. In a conflict zone, our triage tents admit wounded combatants from opposing sides equally, guided purely by the severity of their trauma.

When medical care alone is insufficient to prevent mass slaughter or human rights atrocities, MSF claims the moral duty to speak out publicly to expose abuses witnessed by our field doctors.
