In the right place
Our teams are responding to complex and fast-moving humanitarian emergencies across more than 70 countries, including in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine and Yemen.
We perform life-saving surgery in conflicts and care for survivors caught in natural disasters. The majority of our staff are locally recruited, meaning we can reach the places we really need to be.
MSF teams work in more than 70 countries
At the right time
“In a mass casualty incident like a bombing, some patients don’t make it out of the triage area: we treat them right there, even on the ground, because we cannot waste that ‘golden time’. Even a short delay could mean we miss the chance to save them.”
Dr Mohammad Qaher Poya, MSF deputy nursing director, Kunduz Trauma Centre, Afghanistan
With the right supplies
MSF logistics teams ensure that when disaster hits, our doctors and nurses on the ground have exactly the tools they need, from inflatable hospitals to temperature-controlled medications.
Our humanitarian warehouse in Brussels ships 26,000 parcels of life-saving medical supplies every month.
