About Us

MSF History

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) translates to Doctors without Borders. We provide medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare.

Lebanon Office

The Lebanon office was created in 2019 in response to a growing need for expanding MSF's institutional presence in the MENA region.
