MSF in Sudan
MSF – Médecins Sans Frontières – is an independent international medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural or man-made disasters, or exclusion from health care in more than 70 countries.
Travelog has had a special experience with the MSF organisation. In 1985, when a member of Travelog was hiking in the Djebel Marra mountains of the Darfur region in Sudan, a British travel companion fell over a cliff and broke his neck. They asked for help at the MSF headquarters in the nearest town, Nyala, and after a dramatic rescue operation, a team from MSF succeeded in rescuing him, saving his life.
MSF in Denmark is called Læger uden Grænser.

• ‘Sydsudan – Trods fred: udtømte ressourcer, sult og sygdom’ (12. januar 2006)
