I. MSF INTERNATIONAL
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural disasters. MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.
MSF International is the legal entity that binds MSF’s 23 sections, 25 associations and other offices together. Based in Geneva, MSF International provides coordination, information and support to the MSF movement, and implements international projects and initiatives as requested.

Access to Products for Healthcare (APH) refers to the accessibility, availability, affordability, appropriateness, and quality of products for healthcare for the populations MSF assists and their communities. It is therefore critical to our social mission.
MSF has been engaged in a wide variety of ways to improve APH in the past decades. Building on its successes in the past 20 years, we are currently undertaking a step change to improve APH and achieve increasing ambitions. A new model for how MSF works internally is being set-up which includes establishing a new internal structure, that will replace MSF’s Access Campaign.
This new internal structure will be governed by an Executive Board with ten members, already appointed, representing all the Sections and Operational Directorates of the Movement. The new APH model already includes specific provisions framing the roles and responsibilities of the APH Structure Executive Board.
