1 Lien Nguyen October 2010 Compassion in Action: Doctors without Borders / Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) We live in a country where Medicare exists, where food is plentiful and sanitary, education is a privilege, entertainment is right at our fingertips, and where our health and lives are just wonderful. This is a blessing that we take for granted quite often. We can t complain about our lives because what we have is something that we should be grateful about. When we compare the troubles in the world to our lives, what we have is a free world where we have the privileges. This is something a lot of countries don t have. Organizations such as Doctors without Borders / Médecins sans Frontières (MSF) try to help the world by providing medical help to countries that need it. Doctors without Borders was established in 1971 by a small group of French doctors who had worked in Biafra. When they returned from Biafra, they were determined to find a way to help countries that were truly in need of medical help. So they decided to make an organization that would do exactly that, without the hassle of political, economic and religious influences. These men believed that everyone in the world should have the right to medical care regardless of their race, religion, belief or political affiliation. They believed that the health of everyone in the world was important and that no national borders should stop them from helping the sick and injured. Doctors without Borders is the world's leading independent international medical relief

2 organization. This organization has five operational centers in Europe and 14 national sections worldwide. MSF has been providing medical help to people caught in numerous kinds of catastrophes such as natural disasters, armed conflicts, epidemics of disease and famines for more than 35 years. In each and every one of these situations, quick and skilled medical help is needed. So, MSF provides people with their aid. This organization is well known for its quick response and effective and efficient work in the various types of emergencies. It also helps in situations that require less urgent reinforcement. The action that MSF takes comes in numerous forms: 1 Emergency public health care, including medicine and surgery Mass vaccination campaigns Water and sanitation systems Therapeutic and supplementary nutrition Distribution of drugs and supplies Training and health education Organization or rehabilitation of health structures Medical assistance within existing health structures To aid a country, MSF has to look at the situation carefully. They have to look at the country s medical ethics as well as their right to humanitarian assistance. MSF does this because since the organization is an independent organization, most of the funding comes from donations from various people, companies and groups. MSF has to use the money wisely because they don t want to waste their funding, so MSF helps the countries that need the most medical attention after having analyzed their situation. As well as doing humanitarian services, MSF also talks to the public about what they have witnessed while helping the less fortunate. By speaking up about what they have seen, MSF hopes to eliminate some of the suffering that goes on in the world and raise aware of the global 1 "About MSF: MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES / DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS (MSF) - Canada."

3 situations that are happening around us. They do this out of respect for human beings and their fundamental human rights. 2 In 1989, Canadian volunteers who wanted to participate in this movement first came together to create an MSF association in Canada. MSF Canada officially joined the international movement as a recognized section in The MSF Canada National Office is located in Toronto, and it is responsible for the overall management of MSF Canada s national and international activities. There are also MSF offices located in Montreal and Vancouver. The Montreal and Vancouver offices support the National Office in recruiting aid workers for overseas field placement. Since 1991, Canadian MSF volunteers have participated in more than 1800 situations in over 80 countries: Afghanistan, Angola, Bosnia, Cambodia, Colombia, Liberia, Rwanda, Sri Lanka, Sudan, and many more. 3 I believe that this organization is an important one because by opening their hearts and reaching out to people in need, the doctors send a message to people around the world. They show compassion in the way they help the less fortunate countries out of the goodness of their hearts. They care about the health of the people in the world, and believe that everyone is entitled to medical care. MSF also shows signs of leadership in how they take action. They organize this organization very well. The reason MSF has been successful may be because of its great leadership skills, and how the organization works as one to be successful in the countries they go into to aid. Doctors who participate in MSF do it not for the money but because they value human life. They do not get paid. They volunteer their skills and services to the ill and injured out of empathy for the people who are in dire need of help. These people go far from their home country to help another community that needs their help, because they realize that their help is needed more than where they live. Community and service is helping not only your community but also the global community and doing what you can to help the world. 2 "About MSF: MÉDECINS SANS FRONTIÈRES / DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS (MSF) - Canada."

4 My cousin joined the Australian Doctors without Borders. He is an anesthetist and helped put injured and ill people to sleep so that surgeons could work on their patients. He mostly worked in Somalia. He would often to tell my family and me what was happening while he was there. The region was so war-torn at the time. He would about how the region looked and patients that he would have. He would hear bombs hitting. He had to work in tents along with other doctors while other injured or ill people were being tended to as well. When he came back, he was glad that he had been able to do something about it and help the community of Somalia, but the sights that he saw and the suffering of the people saddened him. The organization of MSF is a great group that helps the global community and my cousin was happy to have been a part of it. After seeing what my cousin had done to help the global community, it made me proud of him because it was dangerous for him to go. Most family members didn t want him to go because they were afraid that something might happen to him. He took their concern into consideration but felt that he needed to do something to help the people of Somalia. So, he decided that even though it would be dangerous, he would still go because he couldn t sit and not do anything while the people of Somalia were suffering. By doing this, his skills as a doctor were also being tested. Since he was in Somalia and the equipment supplied to help the ill and injured wasn t as good as in hospitals in developed countries, he had to use his wit and skills and use the equipment that was supplied to him to help his patients. He also went to Cambodia and helped there, too. 4 The compassion that people feel and the willingness to join MSF is really amazing. I find that this organization is such an extraordinary one. My cousin felt a sense of accomplishment and felt happy to be part of MSF. He enjoyed working with the organization and helping the people who needed his help, so he decided to work with the organization again. 4 Bui, Tung. interview. 27 Oct Jonieu. MSF LOGO. N.d.

5 I wanted to write about this program because I felt that it was important for this organization to be recognized for its hard work and dedication to the health of the people of the world. This organization teaches the world about the problems that are going on. There are volunteers and doctors who join this organization because they feel that the suffering of these people is morally wrong, that they deserve the same health care as we have here, and that the national borders don t matter. This shows us that our world is one world and that it s important to help the human race by supporting each other. I hope that when I grow up, my profession will be something in the medical field, so that I can make a good living and help the people around me. I would also be happy to join MSF, so that I could help the global community. We are all equal, we are one world, and we are all that we have in this world, so we should do everything we can to support each other. That s what I think is the message that MSF is trying to convey, and I agree with their opinion.
