Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) or Doctors Without Borders was started by a small group of French doctors who were determined to find a way to respond rapidly and effectively to public health emergencies, with complete independence from political, economic and religious influences. Today, it is the world’s leading independent international medical relief organisation, with 5 operational centres in Europe and 14 national sections worldwide. An example of where donations gathered by Million Artists will be used: MSF has been operating a trauma centre, St. Joseph’s Hospital, in Port au Prince, since December 2004. A third of its patients are treated for gunshot wounds. Knife wounds are the second most common category. A Haitian physician working for MSF says, “We have a lot of injuries caused by fragmentation bullets. Usually there is a small entry wound and a small exit wound. These bullets explode inside the abdomen of the patient and cause a lot of internal injuries. Fragmentary bullets are used by everyone.” Additional information: www.msf.ca |

Most charities do not accept donations under $5. MillionArtists is a fun way for charities to reach out to young people and people who do not typically donate money. This allows charities to increase their donor lists and participate in a unique project. MillionArtists is dedicated to raising money for philanthropic healthcare providers. |
