MSF have one powerful and passionate focus – delivering emergency medical assistance where it’s most needed, when it’s most needed.  Working shoulder to shoulder with people who struggle daily through poverty, war, disaster and oppression in some of the most challenging areas of the world.

Médecins Sans Frontières believe every life matters.  Every heartbeat has a history.  Every patient has dignity.  As problem-solving professionals, they don’t see race, religion or politics – they see patients who need the best medical care that can be given. MSF go where they need to go, do what they have to do, and speak up for the people they assist.

Come along to the MSF tent at the Festival and meet MSF volunteers who have worked in some of the world’s most complex emergencies.  See the photo exhibition featuring dynamic images from the frontlines; learn how to assess and treat malnutrition; uncover the Top Ten Forgotten Humanitarian Crises.  Children are very welcome to be an MSF volunteer for the day in child-size MSF outfits!
