If you have just listened to Adam Buxton's podcast featuring MSF doctor Javid Abdelmoneim and want to find out a bit more about MSF and Javid, you've come to the right place.
MSF is an international humanitarian organisation providing medical care in more than 70 countries.
Since 1971, we have been treating people caught in complex crises and chronic healthcare emergencies around the world.
From our paediatric nurses to our off-road drivers, we are experts at working in fast-moving and highly-insecure environments. So, whether it's launching a rapid response or delivering community care, we go wherever we are needed most.
In 2022, we admitted more than 1.2 million people to our hospitals and held more than 16.2 million consultations, including at mobile clinics and in refugee camps.
Our vital work often hits the headlines when there's an emergency such as an earthquake, war or disease outbreak.
However, our teams are also running long-term medical programmes for vulnerable groups cut off from care, or speaking out about unseen suffering and the policies that cause it.
Around the world, 365 days a year, we are there even when the cameras are not.
Dr Javid Abdelmoneim was interviewed for The Adam Buxton Podcast. He is an NHS emergency medicine specialist who has worked with MSF since 2009, including on assignments in Ukraine, Syria, and Sierra Leone during the Ebola crisis.
