Medical Innovations in Humanitarian Situations: The Work of Médecins Sans Frontières

Medical Innovation in Humanitarian Situations explores how the particular style of humanitarian action practiced by Doctors Without Borders/MÃ©decins Sans FrontiÃ¨res (MSF) has stayed in line with the standards in scientifically advanced countries while also leading to significant improvements in the medical care delivered to people in crisis. Through a series of case studies â€“ from the development of logistical capacities and satellite organizations to adapting innovative treatments for diseases such as cholera, sleeping sickness, HIV/AIDS, malaria, and malnutrition in war-torn or impoverished settings â€“ the authors reflect on how medical aid workers dealt with the incongruity of practicing conventional evidence-based medicine in contexts that require unconventional approaches. These reflections show how humanitarian medicine does not need to be second-rate, and that innovations in medicine are possible in the most unlikely of contexts. Examining medical innovations of the past can offer valuable insights for addressing current global health challenges.
