Aid shift: Standing up for
global health in a time of turmoil | |

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
teams have decades of experience responding to all kinds of emergencies, from wars to disease outbreaks to natural disasters. But 2025 brought an unprecedented catastrophe caused by policy changes and massive cuts to international humanitarian aid by the US government and other donors. This seismic shift has shaken the aid sector and the communities we assist. |

Join us on Thursday, November 20, at 12:00pm ET
for a live webcast event exploring how slashed aid funding is impacting people around the world. MSF is not directly affected by these cuts, as we do not accept any US government funding and rely on generous support from independent donors. However, we work hand in hand with many local and international organizations that have been forced to scale back or halt activities altogether.
Our teams are bearing witness to the consequences on the ground: people losing access to care at local clinics, vaccination campaigns disrupted, medications out of stock, and clean drinking water in short supply. MSF remains committed to providing medical humanitarian aid where it’s needed most—but we can’t do it alone. Together, we’ll discuss how we’re adapting to the stark new realities.
Join us for a conversation with Dr. Javid Abdelmoneim, MSF's international president, Diana Manilla Arroyo, MSF's head of mission in Haiti, and Dr. Brennan Bollman, MSF's medical activities manager in Bangassou, Central African Republic. The event will be moderated by Kavita Menon, MSF USA chief communications officer.
