Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
is an international humanitarian aid organisation
that provides emergency medical assistance
to populations in danger in more than 60 countries. In countries
where health structures are insufficient or even non-existant, MSF
collaborates with authorities such as the Ministry of Health to provide
assistance. MSF works in rehabilitation of hospitals and dispensaries,
vaccination programmes and water and sanitation projects. MSF also
works in remote health care centres, slum areas and provides training
of local personnel. All this is done with the objective of rebuilding
health structures to acceptable levels.
MSF national offices are responsible for recruitment and coordination of volunteers.
Each national office has specific information regarding recruitment that will
be of benefit to anyone applying to MSF. Interested parties are encouraged
