This #InternationalWomensDay2026, we celebrate the women who lead and support #MSF teams from medical, health promotion, finance, and epidemiology. Their leadership helps ensure that teams on the ground have the support they need to deliver critical medical care to patients.

2/2 @MSF, we witness firsthand the urgent need for mental health & psychosocial support. Beyond medical care, people need safe spaces to heal, talk, and regain a sense of normalcy amid chaos.

1/2 This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we are reminded that there is no health without mental health. Conflicts, natural disasters & public health emergencies cause immense emotional distress worldwide.

Dr Javid Abdelmoneim starts today as our new International President, following his election at the end of June. An emergency doctor by training, he will lead us for the next 3 years, after 16 years’ experience in medical and executive roles with MSF. Welcome @DrJavidA!
