Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) is an international
independent medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict,
epidemics, malnutrition, natural disasters, and exclusion from health care in more than 60 countries.
On any one day, more than 27,000 individuals representing dozens of nationalities can be found providing assistance
to people caught in crises around the world. They are doctors, nurses, logistics experts, administrators,
epidemiologists, laboratory technicians, mental-health professionals, and others who work together in accordance
with MSF’s guiding principles of humanitarian action and medical ethics.
The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.

EMERGENCY
RESPONSE
Zimbabwe When an MSF team arrived at
the border town of Beitbridge in November,
scores of cholera patients had been moved
outside to empty their bowels into the
ground. Compounding the unsanitary
conditions and lack of medical personnel or
materials, the facility’s water had been cut
off. MSF set up a functioning 130-bed
cholera treatment center in three days.
Letter
From MSF

Dear Friends,
Your generosity to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) during the 2008 economic
downturn permitted us to continue our independent response to an extraordinary range and magnitude of
emergencies. MSF-USA was able to commit more than $133 million to fund emergency medical programs in 2008—
testament to the determination of supporters across the country to bring assistance and care to the most vulnerable
people caught in crises in more than 60 countries.
In this year’s Annual Report, we show how your
contributions translated into life-saving action amid some
of the most critical emergencies of 2008—including the
violence that erupted on the streets of Kenya’s capital in
January, the cyclone that hit Myanmar in May, Zimbabwe’s
devastating cholera outbreak in August, the hurricanes that
wracked Haiti in September, and the flight of desperate
migrants who arrived on Yemen’s shores throughout the
year. Moreover, your support ensured MSF’s immediate
intervention when, for several months, some regions of
Ethiopia saw a dramatic rise in the number of severely
malnourished children—an effect of drought combined
with skyrocketing food prices.
Your contributions helped to send US-based aid workers
on more than 300 assignments in 37 countries. Because
of its unrestricted pool of funds, MSF was often the first
independent agency to have teams on the ground making
firsthand assessments. In Kenya, Myanmar, and Zimbabwe,
for example, MSF was already present, running HIV/AIDS
and tuberculosis programs. Our medical teams quickly
shifted gears to respond to new crises unfolding around
them, continuing to treat the thousands of patients already
under their care until additional staff could arrive.
MSF has also been working for many years in Sudan,
Somalia, Chad, Central African Republic, Democratic
Republic of Congo, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, in zones where
new crises continually arise and thousands of people are
uprooted as frontlines shift. In response, our teams move
with the population, open treatment centers, run mobile
clinics, start vaccination campaigns, or open nutrition
programs—so they can assist the first victims of violence.
However, even when our teams are ready to deliver
assistance, we have faced, in recent years, a major
challenge getting across frontlines to reach war wounded
while also ensuring the safety of our staff, whether hired

internationally or locally. In 2008, we continued to seek
access to provide medical assistance based on the needs
of patients caught in the middle of conflict and to advocate
with warring parties to uphold their own obligations under
humanitarian law. In spite of these efforts, three Somaliabased MSF staff were killed during January in a targeted
attack, a horrific event that forced us to evacuate all
international staff and scale down our activities.

During the year, we also ran up against restrictions
that prevented international staff from gaining entry to
Myanmar in the immediate aftermath of Cyclone Nargis in
May. Moreover, the Zimbabwe government’s restrictions
hampered the expansion of MSF’s cholera response. At
the same time, research by major drug companies was still
steered toward areas of maximum profit, leaving millions
around the world without lifesaving treatment for the most
neglected diseases, including Chagas, sleeping sickness,
and kala azar. Millions more with HIV/AIDS, malaria,
tuberculosis, or a combination of these diseases were
neglected due to factors including a lack of appropriate
treatments, high drug prices, or prohibitive patents. In
addition, the survival of malnourished children is still
at risk due to a lack of appropriate food relief, to which
institutions with a global role, including the US government,
are major contributors.
MSF continued to advocate during the year on many of
these issues and challenges. The following pages document
them and describe our corresponding activities in more
detail. Especially now, as we face a deepening economic
and financial crisis, we are counting on your support to help
those who will be hit the hardest. Your continued support
will ensure that millions of the world’s most vulnerable
individuals receive the assistance they need to survive,
whoever they are, wherever they may be.
Thank you.

A new wave of emergencies mobilized MSF in 2008: Africa continued to be at the
center of the largest and most enduring responses, with populations in the subSaharan region vulnerable to armed conflicts, natural disasters, malnutrition,
urban violence, and exclusion from health care. In the following pages we
highlight six challenging emergencies through the firsthand experiences of
MSF aid workers. ● Across the globe in 2008, more than 27,000 national and
international staff were working around the clock to bring emergency
medical care to millions of people caught in crises. Their job is to help people
survive these acute emergencies. Here, you will read about the commitment,
professionalism, and dedication of six of them—their work made possible
through regular contributions by individuals like you around the world.

Team Treats Cholera While Tracking Massive Epidemic
As a cholera epidemic raged across Zimbabwe following an outbreak in the capital, Harare, in August,
MSF opened dozens of treatment centers across the country. By the end of the year, MSF medical
teams had seen more than 20,000 people in desperate need of assistance—three-quarters of those
affected. They would go on to treat more than 60,000.
Patients arrived with typical symptoms of the bacterial infection—diarrhea and vomiting—which,
if left untreated, cause death from dehydration. Years of government neglect of the country’s water
supply and sewage system made it easy for the epidemic to spread rapidly to rural and urban areas.
Caitlin Meredith arrived in early December. “When I arrived the surveillance team was
still in a district on the border with Mozambique. They’d gone there to make an assessment
a month earlier, found a huge outbreak, and got to work. You always sacrifice surveillance
for active treatment, but with an epidemic this vast and unpredictable, we had to find
ways to keep tracking.
We decided to create three surveillance teams, each made up of a doctor or nurse, a logistician,
and support staff. We divided the area up, and they methodically visited each big town and followed
cases to smaller villages. If one team found a pocket of cholera somewhere, they

Thousands Uprooted, Reliant on Independent Aid
06
On May 11, MSF’s medical team in Johannesburg received news that angry mobs in Alexandria
Township were attacking thousands of foreign nationals—many of whom had come to South Africa
in search of safety from violence, political turmoil, or economic collapse in their own countries,
including Zimbabwe, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Somalia.
Within 36 hours, MSF sent a medical team that started treating those with injuries from knife or
gun attacks, or beatings. As the violence spread throughout Johannesburg and beyond, 62 people
were killed, and 100,000 more were driven from their homes to shelter in police stations, churches,
or community halls. Within five days, emergency personnel arrived, and medical and logistical teams
rotated among 15 sites to provide health care, blankets, plastic sheeting, and hygiene kits.
In June, South African authorities regrouped the displaced into seven camps, most of which fell
short of minimum international standards—for example, one potential site was in an isolated
industrial area with few latrines and large potholes, next to an area where the violence had originated.
Rachel Cohen was head of MSF’s South Africa HIV/AIDS programs at that time. “Patients
told us they were afraid to seek medical care from the authorities because many
displaced foreign nationals—especially Zimbabweans who did not have legal status—
were systematically arrested and deported and were subject to
abuse, harassment, and xenophobic discrimination, even by health services. Rachel Cohen

“Without Surgery They Would Likely Have Lost Their Limbs”

Kenya was rocked by a wave of violence after contested elections in December 2007 led to a rash of
attacks across the country forcing tens of thousands of people from their homes. Over the following
days, MSF reinforced its teams to provide medical care in affected areas: Nairobi, Nyanza, Rift Valley,
and Western provinces. Surgeons, emergency physicians, nurses, and logistical specialists were
sent to replace local hospital staff, some of whom were too afraid to report for work.

hadn’t much experience with a massive influx of violent injuries.
What was really dramatic was the intensity of some of the violence. On at least three of the patients
I saw, the machete wounds had caused near amputations. In my experience working with MSF it’s
been unusual to see fractures caused by knife wounds, but at least half of the patients I saw had
been injured in this way. Without surgery they would most likely have lost their limbs.” ●

Teams Work Across Both Sides of Combat Line
08
The fierce conflict that began in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in the mid-1990s has been
called “Africa’s world war,” drawing in all neighboring countries. Renewed fighting in eastern DRC
in September 2007 caused hundreds of thousands to flee their homes. Fearing displaced persons
camps—where protection is not guaranteed—many dispersed to areas with little food, water, or
shelter, often out of reach or too dangerous for aid workers.
DRC is MSF’s second largest operation, presenting a tense and confusing political landscape where
work in one community may be interpreted by another as “working for the enemy.” Some of the most
pressing medical problems in the country’s east are malaria, pulmonary disease, malnutrition, and
the effects of widespread sexual violence.
Gilduin Blanchard was assigned in January to work in Kitchanga, North Kivu, coordinating MSF’s response to an outbreak of violence. “The first thing I did was to cross the
buffer zone to Kalembe—a town controlled by a different group from Kitchanga. To
show our proactive neutrality and impartiality means we must be extremely active on
all sides of a conflict.
In preparation, everybody in our team—drivers, nurses, other local staff—

Local Staff Keep Mogadishu Hospital Doors Open
10
After almost 20 years with no government and protracted conflict, Somalia lacks a functioning health system. MSF is the main provider of free health care in this country, where 3.2 million people need assistance.
MSF has maintained programs across nine regions in south-central Somalia. In 2008, the organization performed more than 730,000 outpatient medical consultations, provided prenatal care to 50,000
women, and treated 10,700 severely malnourished and 47,760 moderately malnourished children.
Shelagh Woods was appointed Somalia Head of Mission after completing six MSF assignments. “We face enormous challenges. Since April, the presence of international staff has
been limited to ‘flash visits’ due to deteriorating security. Three MSF aid workers were
killed in January, and all international staff are currently based in neighboring Kenya.
We run an emergency surgical program at Daynile Community Hospital on the outskirts of
Mogadishu, where this year we treated 3,093 war-wounded patients, more than half of them women
and children. In Daynile, everyone from off-duty nurses to security guards helped out in February

Therapeutic Foods Bring Relief From Malnutrition

Against a backdrop of cyclical droughts and a sharp spike in food prices, MSF treated more than
70,000 children in Ethiopia during 2008. Medical teams set up emergency feeding programs in two
regions of the country’s south after finding alarming levels of malnutrition among children under five.
Leo Ho was based in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region for three
months starting in June. “At the start, we opened one outpatient feeding center after
another, and some of the locations were saturated with people. The first thing I did
was hire security guards and train staff on every aspect of a feeding program—how
to keep records, measure children’s weight and height, and distribute ready-to-use foods made
from a nutrient-dense peanut base.
It was an emergency, and we tried to do it as quickly as we could. As soon as word got out
that children could get free nourishment, people came in droves. We couldn’t possibly feed every
malnourished child, so for quite a period we gave assistance to those at the greatest risk of death.
Even working as fast as possible, we could enroll only 200 patients per day at
each center. Staff would go out and routinely scan people to find the critical

Caring for Victims of
Mass Displacement
Since 2003, MSF has worked in Sudan’s
Darfur region, site of the world’s largest
humanitarian intervention. The complex
conflict deteriorated in 2008, causing
further mass displacement. Approximately
2,000 MSF staff cared for more than
500,000 people, providing primary and
secondary health care; emergency, prenatal,
obstetric, and pediatric services; malaria
and malnutrition treatment; and
supplementary food for children during
the “hunger gap.” In 20 locations in North,
South, and West Darfur, MSF brought
health care to thousands in remote
areas through mobile clinics. Attacks on
aid staff forced MSF to withdraw from
several locations in North Darfur for
part of the year, and MSF was ordered
by authorities to stop its mental-health
program in South Darfur—which had
served 1,600 patients.
In other parts of Sudan, MSF was the
only organization providing medical care.
MSF cared for hundreds of thousands
suffering from violence, malnutrition,
and infectious disease and conducted
thousands of prenatal consultations
in Bahr-el-Ghazal, Upper Nile, Unity,
Jonglei, and Red Sea states. In Bahr-elGhazal, MSF responded to waves of
displacement, providing everything from
soap to outpatient care for more than
15,000 people in and around the state
capital, Aweil. After an attack on the town
of Abyei, MSF operated on dozens of
wounded and established mobile clinics
for those who had fled. In other locations,
MSF provided all levels of health care,
treating cholera, vaccinating tens of
thousands of children against measles,
and aiding victims of attacks by the
Ugandan Lord’s Resistance Army. In
Red Sea state, MSF continued to treat
serious complications facing pregnant
women who had been circumcised and
raised awareness locally of the risks of
this practice.

surgery; water and sanitation; care for
victims of sexual violence; treatment
of malnutrition, cholera, and sleeping
sickness; and measles vaccination for
more than 215,000 children. North of
Goma, amid the heaviest fighting, MSF
performed more than 3,700 surgeries.
Elsewhere, MSF responded to deadly

outbreaks of cholera, and continued
its HIV/AIDS programs in Kinshasa, the

February, when the capital, N’Djamena,
came under attack, an MSF surgical
team treated the wounded in Bon
Samaritain Hospital. Throughout the
year, MSF provided upwards of 300,000

to displaced Chadians and Sudanese
refugees.
In eastern Chad, MSF met the basic
health care, surgical, and maternity needs
of Sudanese refugees in five camps.
In Adre, Guereda, and Abéché, MSF
focused on health care for both Chadian
and Sudanese women and children.
Farther south, MSF provided medical
assistance for the displaced and
residents in the villages of Gozbeida, Kerfi,
Ade, and Dogdoré. In the southwest, MSF
continued to support Goré’s hospital,
caring for tens of thousands of refugees
from Central African Republic and local
residents. MSF also responded to several
epidemic outbreaks, immunizing more

Reaching Victims of Unending
Humanitarian Crisis
Somalia’s appalling living conditions
only worsened in 2008, with indiscriminate
violence blocking humanitarian aid.
MSF was profoundly affected: In 2008
three colleagues were killed in Somalia.
Fighting and threats against foreign
aid workers forced MSF to close three
projects and evacuate its international
staff. Still, much work continued through
the efforts of dedicated Somali staff,
supported by teams based in Nairobi.
Surgical staff treated 5,250 patients in
the emergency room of Mogadishu’s
Daynile hospital, and overall MSF
provided more than 730,000 outpatient consultations, more than
50,000 prenatal consultations, 82,000
vaccinations, and over 1,500 deliveries.
Outside Mogadishu, where some
300,000 displaced people are living
in terrible conditions, MSF supported
a private clinic, running outpatient,
pediatric inpatient, cholera-treatment,
and nutrition services. With a huge
rise in malnourished children in its
intensive and mobile feeding centers
in Hawa Abdi and Afgooye, MSF treated
more than 15,500 children under five,
including over 2,000 in intensive-care
units. Care for violence victims and
those suffering from preventable
diseases was provided in the Galgaduud

Making Gains Against
Malnutrition
During the May-to-October “hunger
gap,” MSF worked with health
authorities to fight malnutrition in
the Maradi, Zinder, and Tahoua
regions. Through more than 40 mobile
nutrition centers, MSF cared for
some 97,600 moderately or severely
malnourished children under age
five. A supplementary nutritive paste
was distributed to 30,000 children
each month, sharply reducing severe
malnutrition in the targeted areas.
MSF also vaccinated about 700,000
children against measles and worked
with the ministry of health to vaccinate
some 437,000 people against
meningitis. All nutritional activities
in the Maradi region were halted in
July, after the government suspended
MSF’s work authorization in the area. In
conflict-affected Agadez, MSF supported
maternity services in three health centers.

More than 700 staff treated more than

people. MSF also vaccinated
approximately 93,000 children against
measles in the Oromiya region and
launched a nutritional intervention in
the northwestern Afar region. In the

ran several health care programs, and
elsewhere MSF treated those with the
deadly disease kala azar.

In parts of Uganda, the need for HIV/
AIDS treatment remains dire. In the
northern Arua district, MSF integrated
HIV-tuberculosis treatment, prenatal
care, and prevention of mother-to-child
transmission, treating more than 4,700

treated AIDS in the West Nile region and
Kitgum district. In the town of Lalogi,
Gulu district, MSF treated about 53,000
patients while preparing hospital services
to be taken over by the Ministry of Health.
MSF also responded to hepatitis E,
Ebola hemorrhagic fever, and cholera;
met the needs of refugees from

Severely affected by HIV/AIDS, Malawi
faces an acute shortage of nurses and
doctors. In two southern districts,
Chiradzulu and Thyolo, MSF has
begun more than 28,000 patients
on antiretroviral therapy. Faced with
an increasing caseload, in 2008 MSF
trained nurses to provide this therapy
in 25 locations and trained community
members to perform testing and counseling, freeing nurses and doctors to focus
on medical tasks. Expanding rural
services and treatment of HIV-tuberculosis
co-infection were also priorities. MSF
intervened in a major cholera epidemic
in the fall, providing patient care and
water and sanitation support.

“Our field staff are the most important means MSF possesses to carry out its
humanitarian action. As many as 27,000 medical and other professionals from
dozens of countries provide assistance each day to millions of people caught in
crises around the world. They share a common commitment to MSF’s guiding
principles of independence, impartiality, neutrality, and medical ethics. MSF
maintains a rigorous selection process, ongoing training opportunities, and
an incremental salary scale that encourage highly qualified and motivated
staff to take on new and more challenging positions. In 2008, US-based aid
workers from 41 US states and the District of Columbia were sent on more
than 300 assignments in 37 countries. More than half of them had previous
experience, enabling them to hit the ground running”. Nick Lawson, Director of Field

In Memorium
The powerful will to save lives and alleviate suffering of people
affected by war, disease, and disaster is what brings together
thousands of individuals from different nationalities, religions,
cultures, and professions to work with MSF. It is with this same
humanitarian spirit that MSF remembers our colleagues who
lost their lives in the service of others in 2008. MSF extends
our deepest sympathies to their families and friends for their
profound loss.

ordinary people that I wanted to become involved in supporting their work.” Eric Lunger. Supporter since 2003

somalia Extreme insecurity in Somalia
led to the deaths of three MSF staff and
forced MSF to close three of its projects.
However, dedicated Somali staff have
remained to operate other MSF projects in
the central and southern regions. They are
supported by Nairobi-based international
staff who visit when security allows.

ethiopia An MSF worker speaks
with people waiting in the rain to be
seen at an MSF nutrition center in the
Oromiya region. Some days, hungry
crowds of more than 1,000 lined
up to be seen at some of the 60 MSF
nutrition centers in southern Ethiopia.
In 2008, the US section of MSF spent more than $133 million on emergency and
medical programs—an increase of 8.2 percent over 2007—and an additional
$12.6 million for program support, advocacy, and communications. For the
fourteenth year in a row, MSF-USA allocated more than 85 percent of its
expenditures to the organization’s program activities. The year closed with
total revenue of $159.2 million and a deficit of $8 million. Over the last 10
years, MSF-USA has implemented a sustainable financial model, ensuring
adequate reserves to maintain support for emergency and medical
programs and allow for multiyear planning to adjust to the impact of an
uncertain economic outlook that will affect fundraising and revenue.

Emergency Operation Case Study:
Responding to Guinea-Bissau Cholera Epidemic
Every day in more than 60 countries around the world, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) responds to
humanitarian needs of people affected by armed conflicts, epidemics, malnutrition, natural disasters, and exclusion from
health care. Besides helping to purchase vital medical supplies, your donations help get our staff on the ground swiftly, cover
costs for training locally hired staff, and provide resources for other crucial activities such as vaccination campaigns and
cholera interventions.
MSF mounted a three-month response
to a cholera epidemic in the West African
nation of Guinea-Bissau, one of the
world’s five poorest countries. An
outbreak of the highly contagious
bacterial disease was first detected in
May and June. The government declared
an emergency in July and requested
international assistance. Cholera,
endemic to Guinea-Bissau, can spread
rapidly through contaminated water due
to poor sanitation infrastructure. MSF
also responded to a cholera epidemic
in the country during 2005.
When MSF’s 2008 intervention began in
August, nearly 4,000 cases had been
reported nationwide, and 93 people had
died. Some 13 international and 163
national staff supported the Ministry of
Health in outbreak-control measures.
Most efforts were placed on surveillance
and case management. Teams of
coordinators, nurses, logisticians, and
epidemiologists took charge of choleratreatment centers, built local capacity,
and improved early detection and
treatment through systematic patient
home visits. In the last weeks of the
intervention, the number of cases and
fatalities had declined in areas of MSF’s
intervention, in part due to the
organization’s sanitation and prevention
efforts. In total, MSF treated 8,414 patients.
This emergency intervention cost
$545,147. Expenses are broken down
in the table below to give an accurate
picture of how money is spent in an
emergency response like this one. The
table shows that medical treatment, using
IV fluid and oral rehydration, is relatively
inexpensive compared to the logistics and
staffing costs for setting up and running
treatment centers. MSF typically keeps
large stockpiles of standard treatment kits
at the ready for cholera-endemic countries
such as Guinea-Bissau.
