Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an independent international medical humanitarian organization. The organization delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural and man-made disasters, and exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries.
“Doctors Without Borders has been working in Haiti since 1991 and had more than 800 Haitian staff, as well as 30 international staff, working there before the quake,” said Craig Meunier, Vice President of Operations at JNK Concepts. “Because of the experience of these doctors, and the staff working in Haiti, we are confident that the money donated will be put to good use.”
Doctors Without Borders had most recently been operating three emergency hospitals in Port-au-Prince and is now mobilizing a large emergency response in the wake of the earthquake that hit the country on January 12, 2010. MSF teams are focusing on meeting the urgent medical and surgical needs of quake victims. As of January 20th, the organization was running 10 operating theatres and working to increase its capacity.
