About Médicos Sin Fronteras

MSF is the acronym by which Doctors Without Borders is known worldwide, an international humanitarian medical action organization that assists populations in precarious situations, and victims of disasters and armed conflicts, without discrimination by race, religion or political ideology. We are present in more than 60 countries, with 425 projects underway and 19 offices on five continents. Each year, we send more than 2,800 international professionals, who work with 24,000 local professionals hired in the projects. We control the aid distribution chain, from its origin to its final destination. We have 3.8 million partners and collaborators worldwide. In recognition of our humanitarian work, we received the 1999 Nobel Peace Prize.
