Friends of MSF is a student society that supports the work of Médecins Sans Frontières MSF (Doctors Without Borders).
MSF is an international humanitarian aid organisation that provides medical assistance to those in greatest need in more than 60 countries.
MSF follows the principles of neutrality, independence and impartiality. This means that MSF helps people in need irrespective of race, religion, ideology or political agendas.
MSF in 40 seconds
Another important part of MSF’s work is speaking out about the situations faced by the populations that MSF is helping. By talking honestly about the realities and underlying causes of crises, MSF seeks to alleviate human suffering and to reinforce human rights.
To be able to work independently, MSF raises most of its funding from private sources. It’s the private donation that keeps MSF’s lifesaving work going – and so efforts by the Friends of MSF truly make a difference and help improve lives around the world.
