By setting up camps around the world and helping give relief around the world, Doctors Without Borders has helped provide influence on the wold and governments. For example, they gave relief to Syrian refugees in Jordan and took some of the weight off the Jordan government's shoulders and helped them with their new policy of not providing free healthcare to every refugee. This is just one of many examples of how the organization has helped not only singular countries but the world as a whole.
