MSF - Médicos Sin Fronteras (Argentina)

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is a medical-humanitarian action organization : we assist people threatened by armed conflicts, violence, epidemics or neglected diseases, natural disasters and exclusion from medical care.

Our teams are made up of thousands of health professionals , logistics specialists and administrative personnel , united and governed by our magna carta in order to provide humanitarian assistance. Humanitarian action is a gesture of solidarity from civil society to civil society, from person to person, whose purpose is to preserve life and alleviate the suffering of other human beings: this is our reason for being. Our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality , which are embodied in our magna carta.

MSF was founded in 1971 in Paris by a group of doctors and journalists. Today, we are a worldwide movement of more than 63,000 people  of 169 different nationalities working in the organization, most of whom do so in their country of origin.

Our organization is non-profit . Thanks to the financial independence granted to us by our six million members around the world, we decide who we serve and how, and our only interest is that of the populations we serve. In order to improve your situation, we can also give testimony to denounce the situations we witness . But we do not aspire to transform a society, but to allow it to overcome a critical period: our objective is people, not States. For this reason, our interventions are limited in time.
