Médecins Sans Frontières

For disaster kits for treating relief patients in a variety of field situations, geographic conditions, and climates. The kits contain basic supplies, such as bandages and medicines, that can be restocked as needed while in the field. They allow Doctors Without Borders teams to arrive at a project site and begin work immediately. Doctors Without Borders was founded in 1971 by a group of French physicians who believed that the right to medical aid transcends national borders. Its mission is to provide medical and humanitarian relief to the victims of war, disease, and natural or man-made disaster, without regard to race, nationality, political beliefs or religion. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.
