Dear Friend,
I fulfilled a lifelong dream when I became a gynecologist with Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). Growing up in Palestine, I’d watch cars emblazoned with the MSF logo roll through my neighborhood and imagine myself riding in one as a medic someday.
After completing my residency training at University of California San Francisco, I decided to focus on emergency obstetrics and abortion care. I wanted to be part of life saving teams assisting pregnant and birthing people with safe abortion care because people end pregnancies for many reasons beyond them being unwanted.
Right now, unsafe abortions globally cause at least 22,800 completely preventable maternal deaths per year. Millions of people who survive unsafe abortions will suffer from severe complications and need access to medical care.
By making a generous donation to MSF, you’re supporting the full range of health care around the world, including safe reproductive care, obstetric care, and so much more.

For decades, MSF teams have seen what happens when safe abortion care is not accessible to the people who need it: They turn to dangerous methods to end an unwanted pregnancy. Safe abortion care is essential, lifesaving medical care that should be accessible to everyone, everywhere.
Our teams continue to work to provide comprehensive reproductive health care, including contraception care, safe abortion care, prenatal care, deliveries, and postnatal care, as well as lifesaving treatment for unsafe abortions.
We rely on supporters like you to ensure we can continue providing safe reproductive care to people in need. Please make a gift to help MSF deliver essential medical care around the world.
Sincerely,
