MSF is an independent international medical relief organisation, with 28 offices worldwide. When large‑scale epidemics occur, when areas in crisis are too dangerous for many other organisations, our medical teams are there to assist the affected population. We organise basic medical care, treat the injured, carry out vaccination campaigns, train local staff and build up medical infrastructure. In long‑term aid projects our teams fight diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, sleeping sickness, and HIV/AIDS.
