About Medecins Sans Frontieres South Asia

Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders, is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization that intervenes in emergencies and crises to relieve human suffering from unmet medical needs and to create a space for humanity. MSF works to provoke a social and political response that meets the essential needs and respects and protects the dignity of people in danger. MSF strives to innovate and incite change through its medical actions, its testimony, and its active reflection on the situation of populations in danger. Respecting its charter and shared principles, MSF is an independent movement of citizen associations that are integrated and open to their societies. In a spirit of volunteerism, acting in proximity to and in solidarity with assisted people, MSF's members adhere to humanitarian principles and respect for medical ethics.
