Supporting MSF
MSF

To donate online, visit the website for the MSF office in the country nearest to you: MSF Offices

Support from individuals like you is essential to our ability to operate independently, and allows Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontiéres (MSF) to respond at a moment's notice to the most urgent emergencies, often in countries and regions that are otherwise forgotten.

MSF's decision to intervene in any crisis is based solely on our independent assessment of people's needs—not political, economic, or religious interests. Our freedom to act and make decisions independently enables us to respond more quickly and to be the first on the scene to provide emergency medical assistance, even in areas farthest from media attention.

In 2007, 91% of MSF’s income was contributed by more than 3.8 million individuals and other private sources from around the world.

On any one day, more than 27,000 committed individuals representing dozens of nationalities can be found providing assistance to people caught in crises around the world.

They are doctors, nurses, logistics experts, administrators, epidemiologists, laboratory technicians, mental health professionals, and others who work together in accordance with MSF's guiding principles of humanitarian action and medical ethics.

Doctors Without Borders/ Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) "Some policymakers say AIDS is expensive, we should focus on cheap and easy things. This cannot be an either-or game...It's not that HIV is over-funded. Global health is under-funded." - Tido von Schoen-Angerer, director of MSF's Access to Essential Medicines Campaign

Source: www.washingtonpost.com
JOHANNESBURG -- Slowed funding from international donors, including the United States, is imperiling recent dramatic gains in treating AIDS patients in the developing world, according to a new report.

Big Pharma not only profits, they profit at the expense of everyone's well-being. Stockholders should demand that they stop taking advantage of consumers' trust.

A food crisis has increased the number of malnutrition cases in the southwest region of the Central African Republic. The people who live here are already poor and are experiencing the full brunt of an economic crisis, specifically in the mining sector.
