MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation.

They ensure the quality of information within those systems, the maintenance and development of the tools, and support users in the operation of the tools. Through the delivery of these services, SPINCO acts as the driver for effective collaboration across the MSF movement in relation to product management.
The flagship SPINCO solution is UniData, MSF’s central supply article database that details all items available for the field and shares information changes within the Movement. The online platforms of UniData and Unicat give oversight on articles available as resources for operations, in alignment with MSF guidelines and protocols. SPINCO also provides UniQuality & UniLocal, the MSF Medical Product Qualification databases, and MSL Medical Standard Lists, a tool which allows collaboration on managing lists of products in projects around the world. The solutions are accessible online to permitted users, and data is made available to other tools in the movement via APIs, enhancing interoperability of processes and information.
