Doctors Without Borders/Medecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is coming to Philadelphia! Join us for a free panel discussion at WHYY Public Media Commons on Thursday, 10/23 at 6pm.
WHYY's Maiken Scott will lead a conversation with MSF's Executive Director in the United States, Sophie Delaunay, and three academic experts who have dedicated years to studying the organization. They will explore MSF's history and development and tackle questions such as, how has MSF worked to stay flexible, reactive, and effective as it expanded through the years? How does it stay prepared to respond to emergencies wherever they occur? And are its core tenets of independence, neutrality, and impartiality viable at a time when the risks seem ever more extreme, particularly in places where protections once afforded to aid workers are eroding?
