Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian
organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare
exclusion and natural disasters. MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and
irrespective of race, religion, gender or political convictions.
