This is a timeline of Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), a French-origin international humanitarian aid organization that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in nearly 70 countries.[1]

Big picture

Time period Development summary
1970s Médecins Sans Frontières is born early in the decade out of the exasperation of a group of French doctors who worked in desperate conditions in the Nigerian Civil War. Along the decade, its growth and increased professionalism would come as a response to decolonization and cold war conflicts in Africa and Asia, which at the time create massive refugee crises.[2] However, MSF remains a small organization in the 1970s.[3]
1980s Early in the decade, MSF introduces logistics and medical departments, a salaried administrative system, and the organization of marketing and fundraising activities.[3] MSF field missions increase.[4] In the 1980s, wars and refugee camps are MSF’s main field of intervention.[3] Several sections of MSF are created in European countries in the decade.[4]
1990s War related situations and refugees movements remain an important focus for MSF. However, the organization increasingly faces the challenges of new health care crises, with the reemergence of once controlled diseases, the emergence of new epidemics, the failing health system in the former Soviet Union, lack of access to heath care for excluded populations in Western countries, and so forth.[3]
2000s Médecins Sans Frontières experiences steady growth.[5] Among great challenge in the decade, is the support to the battle to bring down the price of antiretroviral drugs for people living with HIV in developing countries.[6] MSF's infrastructure like inflatable hospitals and telemedicine are developed in the decade.
2010s As of 2015, MSF is active in nineteen countries and is involved in assistance activities in over sixty nations. It is represented by the International Office in Geneva, and has operational centers in Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Geneva that coordinate interventions. MSF remains independent from governments and political parties.[7]
