Do expats receive a salary?

Volunteers / expat do not receive a salary but a monthly allowance. This starts at about R10 000 a month with an increase for every six months experience in the field with MSF. This allowance is paid into the individuals bank account each month to help expats resettle upon returning from mission. In addition to the allowance expats receive a per diem or monthly allowance in the field to be used for personal items.
