Artsen zonder Grenzen Nederland

Mission

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) aims to help people who are in need and desperately need medical aid, but do not receive it. Irrespective of their race, political conviction or religion. We aim to make a difference by intervening in situations that we find unacceptable. For instance, when people are receiving no aid or when their lives are threatened by disease. By taking action, we make a difference. We do this by offering medical aid, but also by appealing to governments, agencies, other organisations or key people and calling on them to take action. So that people who are being treated unjustly can receive aid. We ourselves determine to whom, how and where we provide aid. Our entire organisation is devoted to providing this aid: independently, in person and on location.
