From the series MSF in 2013:

“We sent mobile clinics out to reach people who’d fled into the bush, where terrible conditions and lack of food made malnutrition a huge problem. Even though we were a small team we saved a lot of children’s lives that way.”
— Dr. Yolaine Civil, Doctors Without Borders pediatrician in Central African Republic (CAR)

“Traveling from village to village, we hear just one word: measles. People are frightened and hopeless. They’re asking for help.”

From the series MSF in 2013:

“Without donations, we wouldn’t have medications, we wouldn’t have IV solutions, we wouldn’t be able to set up an operating tent within a chicken farm, we couldn’t fly to and from the area of conflict … without donor participation, Doctors Without Borders couldn’t be anywhere.”
—Dr. Steve Rubin, Doctors Without Borders surgeon in Syria
