نبذة عن شركة Medecins Sans Frontieres

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, humanitarian organisation whose objective is to provide assistance to populations in distress. MSF delivers emergency aid to the victims of armed conflict, epidemics, natural and man-made disasters and to others who lack health care due to social or geographical isolation. MSF provides primary health care, performs surgery, rehabilitates hospitals and clinics, runs nutrition and sanitation programmes, trains local medical personnel, and provides mental health care. Through longer-term programs its teams treat diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, sleeping sickness and HIV/AIDS. Annually, some 3,000 volunteer doctors, nurses and support staff go to the field where they work alongside 25,000 locally recruited staff. In the UAE, an MSF regional office was created in 1991 in order to on one hand, raise awareness about the plight of populations living in crisis zones and create dialogue forums to interact with local communities; and on the other hand, to seek private resources to support MSF medical activities worldwide.
