Twenty years ago today, Doctors Without Borders was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. We received the prize in recognition of our pioneering humanitarian work on several continents and to honor our medical staff.

Doctors Without Borders was created to help people in crisis. As humanitarians, we reach out to people facing the most difficult circumstances. And today—just as we described in our Nobel acceptance speech 20 years ago—we do it “one bandage at a time, one suture at a time, one vaccination at a time.”

Watch our video and see how, twenty years later, we are still committed to bringing direct medical aid to people in need—and to speaking out and advocating on their behalf.

We challenge pharmaceutical companies to keep their prices fair so those who need them can access them. We refuse to tolerate policies that put people’s lives in danger.

And we will continue our lifesaving humanitarian work whenever and wherever we are needed most. Because of you.

Thank you for being a part of this movement.
