"We are not sure that words can always save lives, but we know that silence can certainly kill".

James Orbinski, f.d. international president of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is present where the needs are greatest and often in places that rarely receive international attention. At the Communications Department in our Swedish office, we work to highlight medical humanitarian crises and their impact on people’s health and access to healthcare.

We engage in communications and advocacy at both strategic and operational levels, ensuring that the voices of our patients and staff are heard by the media, the public, and decision-makers in Sweden.

MSF is governed by its members, all of whom have first hand experience working for the organisation.
