We provide medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare. Our teams are made up of tens of thousands of health professionals, logistic and administrative staff - most of them hired locally. Our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality.
An international, independent medical humanitarian organisation
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian organization that provides medical care to populations affected by crises, including armed conflicts, natural disasters, and epidemics. In the Middle East, MSF focuses on delivering emergency medical assistance to vulnerable communities, often in conflict zones or areas with limited healthcare infrastructure. MSF operates with the core values of neutrality, impartiality, and independence, ensuring that aid is provided based on need, and without discrimination. Our programs in the region include trauma care, mental health support, maternal and child health, and disease prevention, often working in collaboration with local health authorities and other humanitarian actors to provide lifesaving care. Each year, thousands of international staff of all nationalities carry out field assignments working with over 51,000 staff hired locally to give lifesaving medical assistance to people who would otherwise be denied access to healthcare, clean water, and shelter.
