On any given day, in different corners of the globe, an MSF midwife is supporting a family to welcome their child into the world; a counsellor is providing psychological first aid for an elderly woman amid the trauma of war; there is a father bringing his daughter for vaccinations at an MSF health clinic; and there is a supporter like you, contributing their care and resources so that another human being can access the healthcare they need.
In 2023, the Medical Unit’s women’s and children’s health team supported MSF’s emergency response to conflict-driven crises and infectious disease outbreaks in multiple countries, alongside ongoing work to improve quality of care in all projects.
In 2023, MSF ran medical humanitarian projects in more than 70 countries. Our donors in Australia and New Zealand supported work in 34 of those countries, as well as in four additional international projects: The global emergency fund, Climate Smart, Southeast and East Asia and Pacific (SEEAP) project supply, and the MSF Academy.
Our funding largely relies on individual donations. This helps to ensure our operational independence and flexibility to respond at a moment’s notice to the most urgent crises, including those which are under-reported or neglected.
In 2023, 75 per cent of our financial resources were allocated to fulfilling our social mission, which includes our medical humanitarian programs as well as advocacy and awareness raising activities.
Thank you to all of the Australian and New Zealand professionals who worked operationally with MSF in 2023. This includes 116 Australians and 16 New Zealanders who departed in 2023.
In this section are examples of what MSF’s people achieved together in 2023, across the eight countries that received most funding from Australian and New Zealand supporters: Palestine, Yemen, Niger, Sudan, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Nigeria.
