FOREWORD In a complex and fast-changing world, we remain focused and resolute in pursuit of our goal – to provide the most appropriate, effective medicine in the harshest of environments. As well as responding to vital needs, our aid is born of a desire to show solidarity with people who are suffering, whether as a result of conflict, neglect or disease. As a medical humanitarian association, our strength lies in our that the decisions we take are based on, and benefit from, the employees and volunteers, be they frontline workers or back-office widest range of perspectives possible. staff, and all the other people who support our work, whether MSF teams around the world are constantly adjusting to the specific financially, technically, politically or otherwise.
