Doctors Without Borders

Doctors Without Borders was created with the intent to help those who could not help themselves in times of distress. There are natural disasters happening all over the world, all the time, and often in places where immediate medical help is not available or ample-bodied. The goal of this organization is to provide medical help and attention in areas that do not have ready access to it, and also spreading the word across the globe. Not only does the outfit need doctors and nurses, they need reporters and journalists to help reach out. From the first mission in 1972, to now, Doctors Without Borders has held itself to its standards for nearly 40 years now. 

Doctors Without Borders has offices in 21 different countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Norway, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.

In addition, there is also an international office in Geneva, an Access to Essential Medicines Campaign office in Geneva, and two U.N. liasion offices, one in Geneva and one in New York City. Seven MSF branch offices operate in Argentina, Czech Republic, India, Ireland, Mexico, South Korea, and United Arab Emirates.
