Work In Our Projects

Our work is pragmatic, not heroic. We work to develop practical ways to provide medical care that are adapted to the realities that patients and communities face, using the available resources to provide the best quality medical care possible.

Join Our Teams On The Ground

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is a global network of principled professionals who specialise in medical humanitarian work driven by our common humanity and guided by medical ethics.  We recruit medical, administrative, and logistical support personnel to provide medical care to people in crisis in around 70 countries worldwide. Around 3,000 MSF staff annually provide lifesaving medical assistance to people who would otherwise be denied access to even the most basic health care.
