Medecins Sans Frontiers provide emergency response and medical aid to some of the world’s most afflicted crises zones. Today Tom was joined on the show by General Director of Medecins Sans Frontiers Luxembourg, Thomas Kauffman.
Before joining MSF Thomas Kauffmann worked here in Luxembourg for Caritas and then as Director of ECPAT. Today he and Tom discussed the primary areas of focus for MSFs activities, namely the war in Ukraine, the devastation caused by floods in Pakistan and the nutrition crisis in the Sahel.
MSF are well placed to respond to crises as they operate through a combination of on the ground local staff and volunteers that travel to the afflicted areas to give emergency aid.
MSF are 99% funded by private donations and rely on the support and promotion of their causes by the general public.
