Médecins sans frontières
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian association. For 50 years, it has provided medical help to people whose lives or health are in danger, mainly as the result of armed conflicts, epidemics or natural disasters. Since 2014, we’ve been regularly funding its work to provide life-saving assistance across Africa, Asia and, during the COVID-19 crisis, Europe and India.

ACTION
MSF was one of the key medical organisations responding to the epidemic. MSF teams provided medical care to patients infected with the virus in 15 Ebola management centres, offering psychological support to them and their families.
To contain the spread of the virus, MSF teams proactively worked to detect new cases in communities and raised awareness of the disease, how to prevent it and where to seek care.
