The idea of Doctors Without Borders (国界) is that people who need medical help should be able to get it, no matter what is going on in their country.
Christophe Fournier usually works in an office for a large organization. However, Christophe’s job can sometimes be exciting and dangerous. He works for Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF), an organization also known as Doctors Without Borders. Since 1971, MSF has sent trained doctors all over the world to help people who need help in the war, disease or disaster. Dr. Fournier is a doctor from France who has traveled to many places to organize programs that help people. At the moment, there are over 27,000 trained medical staff in MSF projects. The organization received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1999.
All kinds of doctors can volunteer for MSF. They need to be prepared to go almost anywhere in the world, and they should expect difficult conditions. Doctors with experience in tropical (热带的) diseases are useful because most of MSF’s work is in Africa. When MSF accepts a doctor for a task, they have to go for at least six months.
But why would a doctor leave a comfortable life to join MSF? According to Dr. Fournier, the experience you get is a great help in your life. Besides, you need to keep an open mind and learn to get along well with the people you meet. One thing that you can say at the end of any task is that you have influenced people’s lives.
