MSF’s safe abortion care saves lives Help us put Aid First <MAKE 2X THE IMPACT>

Hi 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 graduating from Yale School of Medicine, I decided to focus on abortion and emergency obstetric care—two critical areas where women’s lives can be saved. From Sierra Leone to Iraq, I saw firsthand the lethal consequences of unsafe abortion on women who are already at risk due to conflict and lack of access to care.

Here’s the truth: 22,000 women die every year due to unsafe abortions. Those are preventable deaths. At MSF, we are committed to expanding access to safe abortion care and believe firmly that all patients deserve access to reproductive healthcare.

When you give to MSF, you’re supporting the full range of women’s healthcare around the world. Step up and fuel MSF’s work to put Aid First by saving lives from unsafe abortions, providing safe reproductive care, and so much more. Right now, your gift will be matched thanks to a generous gift from Worthington & Margaret Mayo-Smith, doubling your impact on MSF’s work delivering urgently needed care.

During my six assignments with MSF, I worked with women living through war, displacement, and famine and provided them with free, quality healthcare. I treated women experiencing complications with their pregnancies, trained staff on delivering healthy babies, and helped women safely end their pregnancies.

In each instance, I was guided by MSF’s cornerstone values of neutrality and independence. MSF is steadfastly committed to providing the full range of sexual and reproductive care, including safe abortion care.

Tragically, unsafe abortion is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. Through staff training, treating women experiencing complications from unsafe abortions, helping to break taboos around abortion, and delivering abortion care in areas where women can’t access it, MSF is committed to saving women’s lives from unsafe abortions.

We put Aid First, regardless of politics or special interests. But we can’t do this work delivering essential humanitarian and medical aid without your help, Friend. Give to MSF today and send TWICE the support to our teams putting Aid First in more than 70 countries around the world.

On behalf of our nearly 63,000 MSF staff around the globe, thank you for powering this essential work. We could not do it without your support.

Sincerely,

Dr. Rasha Khoury
Gynecologist
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières USA

P.S. If your year-end gift and our email have crossed paths, we apologize and sincerely thank you for your generosity!
