MSF has carried out projects in South Africa since 1999. In 2007, MSF consolidated its presence in the country by opening a delegate office in Johannesburg, which is part of a network of 20 MSF offices worldwide.
MSF South Africa recruits medical and other professionals to work in MSF projects around the world, raise awareness of the plight of the people we assist by sharing information with the South African public, the media, government agencies, and other non-governmental organisations. MSF South Africa also supports MSF programmes in the region by providing medical expertise, including specific medical training for MSF field staff.
MSF South Africa is a section 21 organisation and acquired NPO (Non-Profit Organisation) status in 2007.
