For our emergency teams around the world: the life-saving moment is now

Around the world, medical emergencies move quickly, and so must we. Right now, Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) teams are providing maternity care, containing outbreaks, and performing vital surgeries. 

The news cycle moves on, but the suffering continues. With your support, our teams can move further and faster.

Because a moment lost can mean a life lost

THE CRISIS

THE CRISIS

In the right place

Our teams are responding to complex and fast-moving humanitarian emergencies across more than 70 countries, including 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 and work in the places we really need to be.

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.
