Médecins Sans Frontières
International Activity Report 2018
The year in review
In 2018 Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams provided medical and humanitarian assistance to people facing extreme hardship in over 70 countries.
Emergency response continued to be a core part of our work in 2018: from treating war-wounded ever closer to frontlines in Yemen; responding to epidemic outbreaks such as Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and cholera in Niger; providing assistance to people fleeing violence in the Central African Republic and Central America; treating visible and invisible wounds around the world and making every effort to improve patient care wherever we work.
