Being a Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) medical doctor is exciting and eye-opening work.

From caring for people living with neglected tropical diseases to conducting rounds to survey trauma patients in a large Ministry of Health hospital after a bout of conflict, MSF’s doctors provide life-saving care every day in our projects.

Responsibilities

Being a medical doctor with MSF can be a challenging role, and the needs are very diverse depending upon the project you work in. Medical doctors are based in the project, and will often care for people affected by some or all of the following:

Malaria Malnutrition HIV/AIDs or TB Injuries sustained in a conflict zone Trauma Tropical Diseases

"I feel I make a greater impact on the patients that I see working with MSF, because they are much more in need. It has given me real perspective on life and has made me realise how privileged we are here."
