Doctors Without Borders, also known internationally by our French name Médecins Sans Frontières  or MSF, is an independent medical humanitarian organization.// Founded in 1971, MSF won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.// Today we have some 33,000 staff on the ground in roughly 70 countries.//
　　We work in communities affected by war, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, chronic neglect, and other crises.// We treat people based on medical needs alone, regardless of race, religion, or political affiliation.//
　　On any given day, we assist patients who have no other access to health care services.// Our medical teams can offer critical services such as surgery, maternal care, vaccinations, and mental health counseling.// When people are forced from their homes, we focus on treating illnesses and injuries.// We work to prevent disease outbreaks in refugee camps and other settlements.// We treat malnutrition and the consequences of sexual violence.//
　　Our advocacy message is always the same.// People at risk should be able to access health care and medical workers even in active conflict zones must be able to provide it.// And life-saving medicines and vaccines must be affordable and accessible to the people who need them the most.// The ongoing support of our doners, together with the profound commitment of our aid workers, will allow MSF to provide the independent and impartial assistance to people in crises for a long time to come.//
　　We know that the future holds many challenges for people around the world.// But we also know what’s possible when we go where we’re most needed with the materials we need to deliver life-saving medical care.//
