Medecines Sans Frontieres
Médecins Sans Frontières exists to save lives by providing medical aid where it is needed most – in armed conflicts, epidemics, famines and natural disasters. All these situations call for a rapid response with specialised medical and logistical help. Médecins Sans Frontières also run longer-term projects, tackling health crises and supporting people where the need is greatest, wherever they are. They currently have projects running in almost 70 countries.
Their medics carry out more than eight million patient consultations a year and their medical activities run from basic vaccination campaigns to complex surgery.
Their emergency medical work extends to neglected, forgotten diseases and long-term care for chronic conditions. They also advocate for affordable, high-quality medicines for the world's poorest people.
Bunderra Foundation is very proud to have contributed a significant donation towards such a long standing and worth while cause. We are confident these funds will be utilised by providing care to the people who need it the most.
