What is the Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF)?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), also known as Doctors Without Borders, is an independent international non-governmental organisation that provides medical humanitarian assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and those excluded from healthcare [1]. MSF runs emergency medical projects, field hospitals and outbreak responses across dozens of countries, emphasising impartial, independent care and relying largely on private donations to preserve neutrality and rapid deployment capacity [2]. It is therefore a humanitarian medical NGO, not an IOC anti-doping agency, a nanotechnology developer, or an EU-funded research organization focused solely on AIDS.
