Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres help people worldwide where the need is greatest, delivering emergency medical aid to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from health care. Doctors without borders is an international humanitarian-aid non-government organization and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, best known for its projects in war-torn regions and developing countries facing endemic diseases. The organization actively provides healthcare and medical training to populations in about 70 countries and frequently insists on political responsibility in conflict zones such as Chechnya and Kosovo.
In order to be able to speak and act freely, MSF remains independent of any political, religious or economic powers. Doctors without borders also brings awareness to the lack of effective treatments and vaccines available in developing countries. Medical volunteers include physicians, surgeons, nursers, and other varied specialists. Vaccination campaigns are a major part of the medical care provided during MSF missions. Diseases such as diphtheria, measles, meningitis, tetanus, pertussis, yellow fever, polio, and cholera, all of which are uncommon in developed countries, may be prevented with vaccination.
Doctors Without Borders is important for underdeveloped countries. They provide the medical assistance and training needed for developing countries. Doctors Without Borders has saved countless of lives and given hope to several countries. For students interested in the medical field, this is a way to gain experience and to conduct research as well. In addition to their field work, Doctors without borders publishes a wide range of research papers drawn from firsthand experience with vulnerable populations.
