"We are not sure that words can always save lives, but we know that silence can certainly kill."
James Orbinski, former international president of Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
Médecins Sans Frontières' fundamental mandate is first and foremost to provide medical emergency aid to people around the world. However, it is also our obligation to draw attention to crises that do not receive international attention, as well as to report on the atrocities that our staff around the world often witness.
In the communications department, we work to convey the work of Médecins Sans Frontières and share stories about global crises with the Danish public, either through the media or our own communication channels.
At the same time, we engage in campaign work, where we involve the Danish people in the issues that are important to us.
