The organization cares for people affected by conflict, disease outbreaks, disasters, and social exclusion in more than 70 countries. MSF offers medical humanitarian assistance solely based on need, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, or politics. Our international project teams include medical, logistical, and administrative staff, most of them hired locally and working with their own communities. Our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of independence, impartiality, and neutrality. We also bear witness and speak out about the experiences of our colleagues and patients. MSF USA is one of 24 sections supporting the global movement, primarily through staff recruitment, fundraising, advocacy, and communications. We welcome candidates who bring a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences to join us in working toward MSF's social mission. Health Promoters Health promoters play a crucial role in connecting with communities outside of the hospital setting. They are responsible for various tasks, from running mobile app campaigns to encourage victims of sexual violence to seek care in our hospitals, to organizing community meetings to educate people in refugee camps about the importance of handwashing. Their work is essential in making sure that MSF projects are accessible and beneficial to the communities they serve.
