What happens after I have been selected to go on mission with MSF?

  • People who have been selected to work with MSF are known as volunteers or expats. They join a pool of other volunteers until a suitable project / mission becomes available for them. Once their mission is confirmed, MSF will be responsible for all travel arrangements, visas and relevant vaccinations.
  • The volunteer first goes to the country where their Pre-Departure Preparation program (PPD) is being held (Ist mission only). An air ticket is provided as well as accommodation and meals during PPD.
  • After PPD most volunteers then go to Brussels for briefing about their mission    and then travel to their mission.
