Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an independent international medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid in more than 70 countries to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters, or exclusion from healthcare.
MSF Belgium left Ethiopia in 2013 and got registered mid-March 2021. Resuming under an Emergency perspective, several projects have been opened and closed. Amongst those ones, two (in SNNP and Afar Region) are being re-oriented toward a longer-term perspective. But the strategy to develop an emergency response capacity remains a key component for the years to come.
