Our medical teams act fast to save people’s lives in conflict zones, natural disasters and epidemics. We go where we are needed most.

Médecins Sans Frontières.

Working as a doctor in the field includes a great deal of planning, implementation and evaluation of medical programs, and tutoring.

Being a nurse with MSF is demanding and rewarding. From basic healthcare to helping set up health posts, nurses are vital to our work. 

As an administrator, you typically work in one of our projects. Duties can include, among other things, personnel accounting, recruitment, leadership and coaching.

Surgical teams are needed in vulnerable situations such as armed conflicts or in isolated areas, where medical staff are not available.

Anaesthetists are often needed on short notice and for shorter periods – one to three months, and the work usually involves general surgery.

The surgical projects mostly handle trauma, orthopedics, gynecology and general surgery.

Water and sanitation play a key role in our projects. Your goal as water and sanitation specialist is to prevent and control water-borne diseases both within and outside of the medical facilities we support.

We are not recruiting physiotherapists at the moment. 

As a psychologist, you often work with coordinating and training local assistants or psychologists.

MSF is often associated with doctors who risk their lives when they treat war injuries in dangerous situations. Certainly it is difficult and challenging to provide primary health care in complex emergencies, but the work is not always as spectacular and heroic as people think.

MSF's primary mandate is to bring emergency medical assistance to populations in need. To reach those who need our help the most, we often work in conflict and post-conflict regions.

Finding a role that is suitable for someone going on their first mission with MSF can take anywhere between one to nine months. We want to make sure that you are matched to a position that is comfortable for you.

This is a general overview of the minimum requirements for working with MSF. These requirements can change without prior notice in response to organisational and field project needs.
