About MSF East Africa

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare. MSF offers assistance to people based on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.

MSF has some of its largest medical projects across East Africa including in South Sudan, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Somalia and Burundi. In these countries, MSF runs hospitals, health centres and mobile clinics, and launches emergency projects as spikes in healthcare needs arise.   
 
MSF also has a regional office in Kenya, which supports our medical programmes in the country and those surrounding it, recruits staff to help run our operations around the world and raises awareness of humanitarian crises that we are responding to. MSF also has a specialist innovation unit, called the Displacement Unit, which supports our projects around the world, and a regional supply centre in Kenya
