What if I am injured or become ill?

All expats must be aware of the risks and dangers of serving with MSF in the field. They must understand that they have no claim against MSF for any injury or illness acquired while participating in any travel or activity conducted by, in support of or under the auspices of MSF. However MSF maintains insurance cover on behalf of its expats that provide direct benefits to injured or sick staff ( including appropriate care and, if necessary repatriation) or their beneficiaries. The scope of this insurance is explained prior to departure. Supplementary insurance is the responsibility of the individual.
