For more than 50 years, humanitarian emergency response has been at the core of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières’ (MSF) work around the world. As an independent, impartial, and neutral humanitarian medical aid organization, we are able to go where the needs are greatest to provide lifesaving medical and humanitarian aid—even in places where other organizations may not be able to go.

Our global network of aid and supplies

Over the years, we have developed innovative solutions, like prepackaged emergency kits, that help us provide the right aid at the right time. Along with a vast global logistical network, we can ensure that our teams around the world have the resources they need to respond to emergencies quickly.

MSF’s response to humanitarian crises

When disaster strikes, MSF’s global staff of over 69,000 leaps into action to provide lifesaving humanitarian aid at a moment’s notice—sometimes within a matter of hours. The unrestricted support of our donors allows us to go where we’re needed most—even in places where other organizations can’t or won’t.
