Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres) is a  secular humanitarian-aid non-governmental organization best known for its projects in war-torn regions and developing countries facing endemic disease.  It was created in 1971 by a small gourp of French doctors who believed that all people have the right to medical care regardless of race, religion, creed or political affiliation, and that the needs of these people supersede respect for national borders.  Dr. Orbinski is the former Director.
