About the Organization

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) translates to “Doctors Without Borders,” but we are much more than just doctors. We are an independent, global movement that provides emergency medical care to people caught in conflict, disasters, and healthcare exclusion. Our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of neutrality and impartiality. In Nigeria, we strive to provide high-quality care to those who have been forgotten or marginalized, speaking out when we witness injustice.
