About Us

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is a global network of principled medical and other professionals who specialise in medical humanitarian work, driven by our common humanity and guided by medical ethics. We strive to bring emergency medical care to people caught in conflicts, crises, and disasters in more than 70 countries worldwide.

In South Africa, the organisation is recognised as one of the pioneers of providing Antiretroviral Treatment (ART) in the public sector and started the first HIV programmes in South Africa in 1999. Until today, the focus of MSF’s interventions in the country has primarily been on developing new testing and treatment strategies for HIV/AIDS and TB in Eshowe (Kwa-Zulu Natal) and Khayelitsha (Western Cape).

In Tshwane, we run a migration project, and we offer medical and psychosocial care to migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, who struggle to access public health services under South Africa’s increasingly restrictive.

Previously we offered free, high-quality, confidential medical care to survivors of SGBV in Rustenburg.

On May 15, 2026, the Democratic Republic of Congo's Ministry of Health officially declared an Ebola disease outbreak in the northeast of the country, where Doctors Without Borders (MSF) teams are operating. Since then, authorities have reported nearly 500 suspected cases and more than 130 deaths across multiple health zones. On the same day, Uganda announced the virus had crossed its borders. The outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo virus - rarer and one for which no vaccine or treatment has been approved yet. Here is what we know about the unfolding crisis in the DRC and Uganda.
