Gynecologists needed by MSF

Doctors without Borders (MSF) is looking for gynocologists/obstetricians

Due to the earthquake in Haiti we are lacking specialised MD's, here among gynocologists/obstetricians.

Haiti has been the biggest intervention MSF has ever been involved in. Since the earthquake the 12th of January we have had over 130.000 patients through our health programmes and we have done 7.500 surgical interventions - more than 50 a day.

We are therefore in an acute situation where we internationally are lacking specialists for our projects all over the world. We are looking for gynocologists/obstetricians to send to our projects during the summer and the rest of the year.

If you are intersted to hear more, please contact your nearest MSF office in:

Denmark (+ Icelanders)
Sweden (+ Finns)
Norway
