Please tell us about Médécins Sans Frontières / Doctors without Borders.

We are the world’s leading independent international medical relief organization. Please tell us about the history of Doctors with Borders. Who founded the organization? Since 1971, MSF has grown into 5 European operational sections, and 13 partner sections around the world. Who can volunteer with Doctors without Borders? How many volunteers are there world-wide? Please tell us about the volunteer recruitment process.

Doctors, nurses, midwives, logisticians, project coordinators, financial coordinators, mental health specialists, social workers, and many other professionals can volunteer with Doctors without Borders. There are over 2000 volunteers working for MSF in the field, and hundreds more who work in offices around the world.

Security is of the outmost concern for MSF, for all of its volunteers and national staff. A security briefing is given to the volunteer prior to going on mission, and once they arrive at their mission. A volunteer is never forced to go on mission if they are concerned about their security.

Volunteers will often live in a house shared by other international MSF volunteers. MSF also speaks out to end suffering and provides public education and informational events.
