The Manson Unit: MSF UK's medical support team

The Manson Unit is a multi-disciplinary medical team that supports and enables MSF field projects, and drives improvements in public health policy and practice.

By prioritising person-centred care and working alongside communities, we develop highly contextualised, holistic evidence-based guidance.

We work with individuals and teams from across MSF to develop innovative ways to improve the experience of people in our care.

We partner with institutions committed to understanding how different forms of social injustice combine to damage people’s health.

By combining research and medical humanitarian experience, we help create opportunities for knowledge sharing, which in turn helps to shift understanding and practice across the professional landscapes of medical humanitarianism.

Our goal is to ensure MSF’s health interventions make a real difference for people and communities across the globe.
