2. Introduction
Medecins Sans Frontiers, better known as Doctors Without Borders, is
a global humanitarian agency, of French origin. The primary aim of the
organization is to help put up projects for people in conflict territories
and zones affected by endemic ailments, as Stiel (2018) notes
The corporation was founded by Jacques Beres, Philip Bernier,
Raymond Borel, Jean Cabrol, Marcel Delcourt, Xavier Emmanuel, and
Max Recamier were instrumental in the formation of the organization
3. Doctors without Borders Organization is a humanitarian organization
that has devoted itself to the provision of support to people in hardship
areas. The origin of the organization lies in the Nigerain Civil War that
created the necessity for medical care beyond national boundaries.
Since then, the organization has grown to cover almost every part of
the world. Despite such great developments, there are threats that
make it hard for the corporation to amply give humanitarian support,
including the violent nature of the operating locations.
5. Role
“Doctors without Borders” is mostly involved in the provision of
voluntary medical services to people who get caught up in
emergencies. For example, in 2015 alone, close to 30,000 local doctors
and nurses, as well as other medicine personnel, including logistical
experts and engineers, were responsible for the provision of medical
aid in a greater percentage of the globe, precisely 70 nations. The
corporation has also been integral in swaying the international politics
and decisions that come as a result of humanitarian needs
6. Organizations philosophy
• Under most cases, the decisions taken by the Medecins Sans
Frontieres Organization have always soared above ideological and
political interests. The corporation only makes decisions that capture
and encompass humanitarian interests of a people whose existence
has been jeopardized by emerging political and natural conditions. It
is for this reason that the organization limits the outsourcing of its
resources to only politically impartial entities and individuals.
8. Sponsorship and resources
There are a couple of sponsors, according to Larsson (2017), that chip
in a great deal for the “Doctors without Borders” Organization, to help
it run its errands, which mostly entail safeguarding the humanitarian
interests of people in hardship areas. Most of the corporate supporters
of the organization, currently, are based in the United States. For
instance, the corporation receives tremendous support from the
Google Organization, which comes out to deliver monetary resources
that could be of great help to Medecins San Frontieres.
10. Sponsorship and resources
Moreover, Trip Advisor, a firm that deals mostly in travel and tourism, is
also of great import to the humanitarian organization. Among other
sponsors for the corporation include Microsoft, Adobe, Zynga, Sealed
Air, Staples, Kaiser Pemanente, as well as News Corporation.
