Presentation transcript:

Médecins Sans Frontières (pronounced Medsan-song-Fronti-air) means ‘Doctors Without Borders’ We are the world’s leading independent medical humanitarian aid organisation. Despite our French name, doctors, nurses and engineers from all over the world work together for MSF to provide medical care for people wherever they need it. This could be for many different reasons, including: Wars Natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods Diseases including Malaria, Tuberculosis and HIV/Aids Famine and Malnutrition Who are MSF?

One of the most important things about MSF is that we are independent. Almost all of our money comes from kind members of the public. This means we don’t have to wait for money from governments and we can make our own decisions about who to help. This allows us to act quickly to treat those people who most need medical help. Independence

Speaking Out We try to make sure that people all around the world know about the medical work we do and the problems our patients face in the countries where we work. This means we are often in the newspapers and on the television.

Médecins Sans Frontières has 19 offices worldwide and MSF-UK is one of them. MSF-UK was established in London in 1992 and we opened an office in Dublin in We support MSF’s field work through: raising money to pay for our projects all around the world finding doctors, nurses, engineers and other support staff who can work abroad talking to the UK public about our work and about the patients we treat providing specialist medical advice to the teams working on our missions all around the world.
