Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an independent international medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters, or exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries.
Each year, MSF doctors, nurses, logisticians, water-and-sanitation experts, administrators, and other medical and non-medical professionals depart on more than 4,700 aid assignments. They work alongside more than 25,800 locally hired staff to provide medical care.
In emergencies and their aftermath, MSF provides essential health care, rehabilitates and runs hospitals and clinics, performs surgery, battles epidemics, carries out vaccination campaigns, operates feeding centers for malnourished children, and offers mental health care. When needed, MSF also constructs wells and dispenses clean drinking water, and provides shelter materials like blankets and plastic sheeting.
Everywhere you turn
Crisis seems to pour
From every color skin
Tragedies & War
Violence and pain
Where is the relief
Answers come so slow
Steady swirls the grief
May I be someone’s reprieve
Key to a cure, Faith to believe
Someone who cares, someone who serves
Lift love & heal, Action from words
Everyone’s hurt
Affecting us all
Threats looming large
Let Mercy Fall
May I be someone’s reprieve
Key to a cure, Faith to believe
Someone who cares,
someone who serves
Someone who backs up with action their words
Disaster descends
No thought of where
Disease takes no sides
Who’s there to care?
Facing emergencies
Médecins Sans Frontières
