COVID-19 CRISIS RESPONSE


MSF is providing urgent medical care & support in more than 70 countries around the world. Help us do more >

Our emergency teams are experts at responding to disease outbreaks. Since 1971, we’ve treated hundreds of thousands of people battling HIV/AIDS, cholera and Ebola. Now, with your support, we can help save the lives of people struggling with COVID-19.

Right now, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is providing urgently needed medical care and supporting COVID-19 relief efforts in more than 70 countries.

Our teams are also gearing up to confront potential outbreaks in the hundreds of areas we were already working before the pandemic struck.

We are deploying medics, sending supplies and applying our vast experience of managing epidemics to protect the most vulnerable and save lives.

As an emergency medical organisation, MSF know first-hand the effects that disease outbreaks can have on communities.

Through every epidemic, it’s the most vulnerable people who need the greatest support.

In the coming months, we will face major challenges both in treating people affected by the pandemic and protecting the people already under our care. Shortages of medical supplies and travel restrictions are likely to drastically impact our work.

But we are strengthening infection controls and adapting to this unprecedented threat every day.

As we fight this disease, your support is as crucial as ever.
