Supporting MSF
MSF

To donate online, visit the website for the MSF office in the country nearest to you: MSF Offices

Support from individuals like you is essential to our ability to operate independently, and allows Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontiéres (MSF) to respond at a moment's notice to the most urgent emergencies, often in countries and regions that are otherwise forgotten.

MSF's decision to intervene in any crisis is based solely on our independent assessment of people's needs—not political, economic, or religious interests. Our freedom to act and make decisions independently enables us to respond more quickly and to be the first on the scene to provide emergency medical assistance, even in areas farthest from media attention.

In 2007, 91% of MSF’s income was contributed by more than 3.8 million individuals and other private sources from around the world.

On any one day, more than 27,000 committed individuals representing dozens of nationalities can be found providing assistance to people caught in crises around the world.

They are doctors, nurses, logistics experts, administrators, epidemiologists, laboratory technicians, mental health professionals, and others who work together in accordance with MSF's guiding principles of humanitarian action and medical ethics.

There is enough in this world for everybody's need. There will be never enough for some people's greed.

Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) In the landlocked and mountainous country of Kyrgyzstan in central Asia, prisons have long been a breeding ground for tuberculosis (TB). Many prisoners are released before concluding their treatment and if they are unable to continue treatment they are more likely to delevop resistant strains of the disease.

I'm so lucky to live in a country where medical care is free, must be very difficult to make a decision about your health as a patient or to watch that decision being made as a doctor.

hopefully showing that patients with HIV can take part in things that everyone else takes part in will help to reduce the stigma and help people to veiw them as "normal" if there is ever such a thing anyway.
