The international aid organization Doctors Without Borders is founded by Bernard Kouchner and a group of journalists in Paris, France.

Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF) is an international humanitarian organization that provides medical care to people affected by crises, including conflicts, epidemics, and natural disasters. Founded in 1971 by a group of doctors and journalists, MSF operates in over 70 countries, offering essential healthcare services in regions where medical infrastructure is lacking or overwhelmed. The organization’s teams are often the first responders in emergencies, providing life-saving treatment, such as surgeries, vaccinations, and mental health support, while also addressing the root causes of health crises. MSF is known for its commitment to impartiality, neutrality, and independence, ensuring that assistance is provided based solely on need, without political, religious, or other biases. Their work is funded mainly through private donations, which allows them to maintain autonomy from governmental or corporate influence. Through its bold and unflinching approach, MSF has become a leading force in global humanitarian aid.
