The organization was created in 1971 byjournalists and doctors in France. Now it works in over 60 countries. Its primary goal is to help people in crisissituations, such as wars, natural disasters, or extreme poverty.MSF raises money from private donors. This allows the organization to work independently from othergovernments, religions, or militaries and to assist individuals regardless of their nationality or affiliation. Withthis money, MSF creates medical teams of doctors, nurses, and other health-care professionals. MSF requiresthese teams to have experience in the medical field and to make a commitment to their work.MSF sends medical teams to countries where there are major needs. For example, a team might go to arefugee camp. Another team might go to a poor country with a lack of doctors and medicines. The teams studythe situation and decide what care is needed. MSF can offer many different types of services. During a war,they may provide mental health services. After a natural disaster like an earthquake, they may rebuild hospitalsand shelters to help the country recover.While MSF’s medical teams are working in a country, their primary concern is quality medical assistance.However, if a team learns about a new problem, they will speak out so that the international communitybecomes aware of the situation. MSF will use media, such as newspaper articles or Twitter feeds, to inform theworld. For instance, MSF created a campaign called “Starved for Attention.” Global countries were madeaware of the issue of childhood malnutrition through this campaign.After MSF has helped a country, they may leave and give its programs to the local citizens of that country.This allows MSF to use its resources to help the next country. However, MSF will not leave a country until theemergency situation has improved. MSF wants to be sure that the country will continue to get medical careafter they leave. Through this process, MSF continues to have a positive impact on a community even after theorganization has left a country.
