  Introduction of Ärzte ohne Grenzen e.V.

  Dear Aid & Development Professionals Community, Ärzte ohne Grenzen/Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) feels pleased to be part of this group.
  
  MSF is an independent international medical relief organisation, with 19 sections worldwide. For medical aid operations throughout the entire world, MSF is on the lookout for volunteers who are willing to provide some of their time and skills to those in need.
  
  When large-scale epidemics occur, when areas in crisis are too dangerous for many others, then the medical teams from MSF are there to ensure that the affected population can count on continuous care in order to meet their most basic health-care needs. They organize basic medical care, treat the injured, carry out vaccination campaigns, train local medical staff and build up medical infrastructure. In long-term aid projects they dedicate themselves to the fight against diseases like tuberculosis, malaria, sleeping sickness, and HIV/AIDS.
  
  The basic principle is voluntary commitment: MSF volunteers (expats) donate their time and qualifications for people in crisis. The on-location work of our expats is often very exhausting, but also fascinating, demanding appropriate professional knowledge, and a large amount of motivation and commitment.
