Artsen zonder Grenzen

Founded in 1984, Artsen zonder Grenzen is a non-governmental organisation based in Amsterdam, Netherlands working on humanitarian aid & disaster relief, health, water & sanitation.

Artsen zonder Grenzen Nederland is the Dutch section of the international medical humanitarian organisation Médecins Sans Frontières. It provides emergency medical care to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and lack of access to healthcare, working through its own teams in more than 70 countries. The organisation is headquartered in Amsterdam, is funded mainly by private donors, legacies and lottery support, and does not accept Dutch government funding. It also advocates on behalf of the communities it serves and publicly speaks out on abuses it witnesses.
