Description

MEDECINS SANS FRONTIERES UK


Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) provides life-saving emergency relief and longer-term medical care to some of the most vulnerable and excluded communities around the world.

As an independent medical humanitarian organisation, we deliver care based only on need, regardless of ethnic origin, gender, religion or political affiliation.

MSF relies on donations from private individuals and organisations for the majority of its income.

This private funding gives MSF the freedom to respond where needs are greatest and to speak out publicly, free from any political interference.


MSF has around 63,000 local and international staff working in over 70 countries, in some of the most challenging places in the world.

Our medical humanitarian projects are supported by offices in 44 countries, including the UK and Ireland.

These teams recruit staff, organise fundraising, and raise awareness on the humanitarian crises our colleagues are witnessing, as well as running different and diverse support activities.

MSF offices are spread across Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa and Australasia.


At MSF UK/IE, we support MSF's operations by building relationships with our supporters, increasing awareness of our work, raising funds, providing specialist medical expertise, ensuring MSF staff have access to relevant higher education programmes, catalysing change on medical humanitarian issues, and recruiting field staff.

MSF UK/IE personnel are dynamic, hard-working, enthusiastic and committed to MSF's values and aims.

In addition MSF continues to build upon its presence in Ireland to become a widely recognised, accepted and respected humanitarian organisation among Irish audiences, and within the Irish humanitarian and political sector.
