The year in review
In 2018 Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams provided medical and humanitarian assistance to people facing extreme hardship in over 70 countries.
Emergency response continued to be a core part of our work in 2018: from treating war-wounded ever closer to frontlines in Yemen; responding to epidemic outbreaks such as Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo and cholera in Niger; providing assistance to people fleeing violence in the Central African Republic and Central America; treating visible and invisible wounds around the world and making every effort to improve patient care wherever we work.
