In Canada
The Canadian section of Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) was founded in 1991.
MSF Canada recruits medical and logistical personnel for overseas missions; raises public awareness of the plight of the populations we care for; and finances international MSF projects by raising funds from the general public (83%) and the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) (17%).
Since 2006, MSF Canada has also directly managed healthcare projects in five countries: Colombia, Côte d'Ivoire, Haïti, Nigiera, and Republic of the Congo.
The MSF Canada National Office is located in Toronto, and is responsible for overall coordination of MSF Canada’s national and international activities.
There are also MSF offices in Montreal and Vancouver. The Montreal and Vancouver offices support the National Office in recruiting aid workers for overseas field placement.
Since 1991, Canadians have taken on more than 1800 field assignments with MSF in over 80 countries: Afghanistan, Angola, Bosnia, Cambodia, Colombia, Liberia, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Sudan, and many others. MSF field projects respond to public health emergencies caused by armed conflict, epidemics, food insecurity, and environmental crises.
