Grupo VAPF collaborates with Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
17.11.2023
The VAPF Group continues to be a "Company without Borders", which means that we continue to financially support the organization Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), so that they can continue offering medical-humanitarian assistance to those who need it most.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is a medical-humanitarian action organization that cares for people threatened by armed conflicts, violence, epidemics or forgotten diseases, natural disasters and people excluded from medical attention.
The association is mainly composed of doctors and members of the healthcare sector, although it is open to other professionals that could be of use.
Médecins Sans Frontières was born in 1971 as a medical action organisation independent from geopolitical interests: It goes anywhere where victims of an emergency need help, offering urgent medical attention with no discrimination by race, religion, philosophy or politics.
MSF’s humanitarian work is based on the principles and values established in its Carta Magna: neutrality, impartiality, non-discrimination, personal commitment and medical ethics.
"Medical actionand testimony" is the double social mission of MSF, which was created by doctors and journalists. As it offers direct attention, MSF is a first-hand witness of the suffering of people it assists, therefore it can publicly expose the responsibilities of those who cause the crises, those who have the capacity to influence them, or those who have the first responsibility to respond.
Testimonial and political incidence activities are carried out independently from any political, economic or religious interests, just like the medical action.
