Médicos sin Fronteras (Doctors Without Borders)
An organization of doctors who work in more than 80 countries to help people in need.
Doctors Without Borders
Pioneering medical sociologist Ren e C. Fox spent nearly twenty years conducting extensive ethnographic research within M decins Sans Fronti res/Doctors Without Borders (MSF), a private international medical humanitarian organization that was created in 1971 and awarded the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1999. Drawing on unprecedented access to MSF staff meetings, doctors, and field workers, Fox weaves a rich tapestry of the MSF experience with emerging and reemerging infectious diseases. Including vivid photographs of MSF operations, Doctors Without Borders explores the organization's founding principles, distinctive culture, and inner struggles to realize more fully its "without borders" transnational vision.
Life in Crisis
Life in Crisis tells the story of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders or MSF) and its effort to "save lives" on a global scale. Begun in 1971 as a French alternative to the Red Cross, the MSF has grown into an international institution with a reputation for outspoken protest as well as technical efficiency. It has also expanded beyond emergency response, providing for a wider range of endeavors, including AIDS care. Yet its seemingly simple ethical goal proves deeply complex in practice. MSF continually faces the problem of defining its own limits. Its minimalist form of care recalls the promise of state welfare, but without political resolution or a sense of well-being beyond health and survival. Lacking utopian certainty, the group struggles when the moral clarity of crisis fades. Nevertheless, it continues to take action and innovate. Its organizational history illustrates both the logic and the tensions of casting humanitarian medicine into a leading role in international affairs.

Las Organizaciones que se citan son genuinas y va mi admiración por el trabajo que realizan y mi agradecimiento por haber confiado en mí. Tuve la oportunidad de trabajar con Médicos sin Fronteras en la mayoría de las misiones salvo en una ocasión que fui contratada por CID, Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo. Esta última con base en Inglaterra. Médicos sin Fronteras, conocida por la amplitud de sus actividades es una ONG con sede en la mayoría de los países del primer mundo, especialmente Europa. Cada país es independiente de los otros, pero con la misma Carta Magna, es decir con los mismos principios. Nació como una alternativa a la Cruz Roja, la cual se había visto q...
