- Hur kan en medlem i FoMSF stötta MSF? NEJ! This is where FoMSF comes in!

Friends of MSF är en studentförening som arbetar med att stötta Läkare Utan Gränser samt sprida information och inspiration om hur man kan engagera sig humanitärt! FoMSF-Stockholm (Friends of Läkare utan Gränser Stockholm) är en studentorganisation som alla studenter i Stockholm är välkomna att gå med i. Vi består av en styrelse tillsammans med olika arbetsgrupper (nyheter, events, språk, mm) Som student kan det vara svårt att engagera sig direkt med Läkare Utan Gränser i och med att vi varken är färdigutbildade och därmed inte kan arbeta i fält eller har en tillräckligt bra ekonomi för vilja vara månadsgivare. Vi erbjuder en möjlighet för dig att lära dig mer om MSF som organisation, och att kunna stötta MSF på en officiellt sätt genom att vi anordnar med olika sorters events (insamlingar, mapathon, mm) samt att hjälpa MSF att sprida information och medvetenhet om MSFs olika arbeten.

-What is FoMSF-Stockholm? FoMSF-Stockholm (Friends of Doctors Without Borders Stockholm) is a student organization that all students studying in Stockholm are welcome to join. As students we cannot work directly for MSF as we have not finished our program of study yet, and most do not have the money to make substantial donations. Thus it can be hard to find a way to support MSF. We are composed of a board and several different work groups (news/awareness, events, language, etc). How can being a member in FoMSF help MSF?
-We offer you the opportunity to learn more about MSF as an organization. Through us you can support MSF in a more official capacity by helping to organize events (fundraising, mapathons, etc.) and by helping to spread awareness of issues MSF is involved in around the world. Do I need to study a healthcare profession to join?
-NO! We welcome ALL students that student at a university in Stockholm, without regard to program of study. In field operations all different types of professions are needed, from healthcare to technicians to engineers!

A hospital on rails – MSF’s medical evacuation trains in Ukraine

When hospitals near the frontlines become too dangerous or overwhelmed, patients still need care and in Ukraine, that care has sometimes come by train. Since 31 March 2022, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), together with Ukrainian Railways, has operated medical evacuation trains to transfer patients from hospitals close to the fighting to
safer parts of the country where treatment is still possible. One of the trains was even equipped to care for patients in need of intensive care. In just over a month, between 31 March and 6 May 2022, MSF evacuated 653 patients, of whom 355 had been injured directly by the war.

These trains are much more than transport. They function as moving hospital wards, staffed by doctors and nurses and equipped with oxygen, monitoring devices, and space for patients on stretchers or in beds. Even during the journey, treatment continues. In 2023, MSF evacuated 1,300 patients by medical train in Ukraine.

One especially powerful example comes from Kherson in October 2023, after a hospital in the region was shelled. MSF evacuated 150 patients, transporting them first by ambulance to the station and then onward by medical train.
During one of these evacuations, MSF doctor Nataliia Pivovar spent 36 hours on board, caring for mostly elderly patients, many of whom had dementia, cerebral palsy, or other neurological conditions.

Some patients were frightened and confused as shelling could still be heard nearby while they were being brought onto the train. Some had hearing impairments and did not understand what was happening, so staff had to calmly reassure them that they were being taken somewhere
safe. In one carriage alone, Nataliia was responsible for nine patients, checking blood pressure, giving medication, and monitoring those who needed oxygen. In a war where hospitals have been damaged and access to healthcare is constantly disrupted, these trains have become a lifeline: carrying patients away from danger while continuing the care they need along the way.

Invisible Millions: Healthcare on the Margins in Iran

Iran hosts around 4.5 million displaced people, including 2.6 million Afghans, yet only a small portion are officially registered. The rest often live in the shadows, facing daily challenges—not least when it comes to accessing something as fundamental as healthcare. Stigma, exclusion, lack of identification, and financial hardship often prevent people from seeking or receiving treatment. This is where Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) steps in.

In South Tehran, one of the city’s most underserved areas, MSF provides hepatitis C testing and treatment in drug rehabilitation centres, alongside sexual and reproductive healthcare for Afghan women.

In Mashhad, near the Afghan border, MSF brings healthcare directly to communities through mobile clinics, with medical consultations, infectious disease screening, health education, counselling, social support, and a clinic serving many Afghan refugees in the Golshahr district.

In Kerman province, MSF is the only organisation providing direct healthcare to Afghan refugees, offering basic care, specialist referrals, and clinics for new and unregistered arrivals, covering everything from chronic illnesses to mental health support.

MSF’s work became significantly more challenging at the beginning of this year, as the escalation of conflict in Iran in February intensified humanitarian needs across the country. Following the outbreak of the conflict, MSF quickly responded by donating medical supplies for 500 patients, along with essential relief items for displaced people including 5,000 blankets, 4,000 pillows, and thousands of hygiene products such as toothpaste, shampoo, and sanitary pads.

However, the situation remains complex. MSF’s clinic in South Tehran is temporarily closed but will reopen with a more specialised focus, while activities in Mashhad and Kerman continue with reduced staff. MSF are waiting for approval to expand emergency care, keep clinics open 24/7, and support the local health system.

Humanitarian needs are rapidly increasing. MSF remains committed to reaching those most in need.

2015 – An earthquake shakes Nepal!

On April 25, 2015, a powerful 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal. Thousands of people were killed, tens of thousands were injured, and large parts of the country, especially around the capital Kathmandu were devastated.

The earthquake destroyed homes, hospitals, and entire villages, particularly in mountainous regions. Many people were left homeless without access to healthcare, clean water, or shelter. The situation worsened due to aftershocks and a second major earthquake in May.

Within a day, MSF deployed emergency teams and sent large amounts of medical supplies to Nepal. They organized surgical teams, mobile clinics, and logistics to reach affected populations quickly.

MSF set up mobile clinics and an inflatable hospital in heavily affected areas. They treated injuries such as fractures and infections, performed surgeries, and referred critically injured patients to hospitals in Kathmandu.

Many of the worst-hit communities were located in remote mountain areas. MSF used helicopters to deliver aid, including food, medicine, and shelter materials, and to provide medical care to people who otherwise had no access to assistance.

In addition to physical care, MSF provided psychological support to people affected by trauma. They conducted counseling sessions and helped both children and adults cope with fear, stress, and loss.

In the months following the disaster, MSF carried out thousands of medical consultations, treated urgent cases, and distributed aid to tens of thousands of households. As is often the case when MSF helps in catastrophic scenarios it is to help the already existing healthcare system of the country to cope with the event. And over the following months and years MSF left Nepal.
