Oeuvrant dans la neutralité et en toute impartialité, les Médecins Sans Frontières revendiquent, au nom de l'éthique médicale universelle et du droit à l'assistance humanitaire, la liberté pleine et entière de l'exercice de leur fonction. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian aid organisation that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 70 countries. In countries where health structures are insufficient or even non-existant, MSF collaborates with authorities such as the Ministry of Health to provide assistance. MSF works in rehabilitation of hospitals and dispensaries, vaccination programmes and water and sanitation projects. MSF also works in remote health care centres, slum areas and provides training of local personnel. All this is done with the objective of rebuilding health structures to acceptable levels.
