How We Work
See what triggers an intervention and how we can respond quickly.
Rapid and effective response to emergencies is at the core of our work. If mortality rates soar in just a few weeks, the main challenge is to save as many lives as possible in as short a time. MSF keeps pre-packaged kits so that teams can offer rapid lifesaving assistance - from surgical kits, inflatable hospitals to cholera kits. Our cash reserves for emergencies means we can provide assistance quickly, when and where the need is greatest.
