Manchester Marathon 2021 · 10 October 2021 ·

Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is the world's leading medical humanitarian aid organisation. We work in over 70 countries - in conflict zones, natural disasters and epidemics. We are independent, neutral and impartial. We provide medical care where it's needed most.

Story

MSF is an organisation I have been interested in for a while but have recently gained a further insight into the work that they do after reading David Nott's 'War Doctor', where he recounts his experiences in countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, Chad and Sudan, to name a few. MSF send medical aid to over 70 countries that face conflict, disaster and epidemics. This is whilst remaining impartial and neutral, sending help to where it is most needed. 

For an idea of the kind of things MSF can help with:

  • £44.67 buys treatment to help a woman who has been raped and as a result has contracted HIV/AIDS
  • £80.34 could cover the cost of three days of cholera treatment for a patient
  • £134 would pay for a measles vaccine for 1,500 children
