Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic on all fronts. We are caring for patients; offering health education and mental health support; and strengthening infection prevention and control measures in health facilities to slow the spread of the new coronavirus. At the same time, we’re working to keep our other lifesaving medical programs running for the tens of thousands of patients who depend on these services.
Join us for this final event in our online discussion series to find out how MSF is responding to the evolving coronavirus emergency. |

This Thursday, April 16,
MSF-USA Executive Director Avril Benoît will be joined by MSF aid workers and emergency physicians Dr. Javid Abdelmoneim and Dr. Craig Spencer. Both are currently working independently from MSF, responding to the COVID-19 pandemic in hospitals in their home cities of London and New York.
Together they will share previous MSF experiences, including responding to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, providing care for displaced people in places like South Sudan and Lebanon, working in conflict settings such as Raqqa, Syria, and their shared experience on board The Aquarius, MSF’s medical search and rescue ship on the Mediterranean Sea. They will answer your questions about the humanitarian impacts of COVID-19.
NOTE: After you register, you'll receive an email confirmation with the Zoom link to attend online. You'll also receive email reminders before the event.
(If you weren't able to join us for last week's online event, a recording of "Let's Talk COVID-19: Mental Health" is available to view here.)
