Our surgeons provide practical, life-saving care to vulnerable people all over the world. 

As a Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) surgeon, you could be called to perform a caesarean section in a temporary tented health facility for displaced people in South Sudan, through to performing a highly technical operation on a child disfigured by noma in Nigeria. Surgical work with MSF is incredibly varied.

Responsibilities

Our surgeons are always based in the project (unless it is managed at distance due to security), and perform a wide range of surgical interventions and non-surgical care, from burns care and dressings through to fistula surgeries and managing spear wounds.

It’s an exciting and diverse role and our surgeons are usually responsible for some or all of the following: 

Performing obstetric surgeries where needed Management of war wounds (bullet removal, amputations, etc) General surgery Burns management Training/managing national staff (operation theatre nurse, paramedics, etc)
