Médecins sans frontières (MSF) (pronounced [medsɛ̃ sɑ̃ fʁɔ̃tjɛʁ] (
listen)), or Doctors Without Borders, is an international humanitarian-aid non-governmental organization (NGO) and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, best known for its projects in war-torn regions and developing countries facing endemic diseases. It was founded in France in response to the Biafran War.[1] The organization is known in most of the world by its localized name or simply as MSF; in Canada and the United States the name Doctors Without Borders is commonly used. In 2015 over 30,000, mostly local, doctors, nurses and other medical professionals, logistical experts, water and sanitation engineers and administrators provided medical aid in over 70 countries.[2] These doctors and nurses decided to volunteer their time to solve issues of world health. Private donors provide about 90% of the organization's funding, while corporate donations provide the rest, giving MSF an annual budget of approximately US$750 million.[3]
無國界醫生是全球最大的獨立醫療救援組織，目前總部設於瑞士的日內瓦，有五個主要的行動中心位於歐洲，分別是巴黎、布魯塞爾、阿姆斯特丹、巴塞隆納和日內瓦。此組織的目標是｢不分種族、國家與宗教背景、義務的協助戰火和自然災害中受傷的人類得到醫治｣。無國界醫生組織經常深入戰亂地區，生命和義務工作等也常受到威脅。他們經常會代表受害的地區向聯合國提交抗議，例如對車臣和科索沃戰亂的譴責。
無國界醫生組織目前針對下列四大項狀況進行醫療協助：
- 針對戰爭和內亂地區的民眾進行緊急醫療幫助
- 針對難民和流亡的群眾進行醫療安置和協助
- 天然或人為災難的緊急醫療支持
- 長期對偏遠地區做醫療協助
無國界醫生組織的總部設在瑞士日內瓦並有20個部門。該組織每年招募大約3000名醫生，護士，助產士，和後勤人員執行各個計劃，另外還有1000名長期工作人員負責招募志願者和處理財務和媒體關係。該組織80%的資金來自醫生與個人捐款，其餘的來自於政府和企業的捐助。這些使得無國界醫生的年預算大約有4億美元[2]
無國界醫生組織積極地為70餘個國家人民提供衛生保健和醫療培訓，並且一貫堅持在衝突地區比如車臣和科索沃的政治責任。在它的歷史上多次進行抗議活動， 包括在1994年盧安達種族屠殺中，該組織呼籲軍事干涉，以及對柬埔寨赤棉的屠殺等。
