Whether it’s a child injured in a bomb blast or a woman with pregnancy complications, emergency surgery saves lives.
But performing surgery is complex, requiring highly trained staff; specialist equipment; and safe, clean facilities. Up to 70 percent of the world’s population do not have access to this vital medical care.
That’s why, in conflict zones, natural disasters, and remote communities, MSF’s expert teams are bringing surgical care to people whose lives are on the line.

Why now?
In 2022, MSF teams around the world conducted more than 118,000 major operations.
Now people in places like Gaza, Sudan and Afghanistan are facing new crises. Needs are growing.
In the countries where we work, the need for surgical care has never been higher.
Why MSF?

We treat patients based on medical needs alone, regardless of ethnicity, religion, or political affiliation. We don't take sides in conflicts.
Our teams are experts in providing life-saving care in challenging contexts.

What happens to my donation?
Eighty-four pence of every pound donated to MSF goes directly to our medical projects. And because we’re funded by individuals, not governments, we can act fast when a new crisis breaks.
None of this is possible without the support of our incredible donors.
