What does ZZG mean in UNCLASSIFIED

The mission of MSF – Ziekenhuis Zonder Grenzen (MSF-ZZG) is to provide medical aid to people affected by wars, natural disasters, epidemics, conflicts and poverty. We aim to deliver impartial care regardless of race, religion or political affiliation in order to reduce suffering.

MSF – Ziekenhuis Zonder Grenzen (MSF-ZZG) provides medical aid through our network of dedicated staff and volunteers in more than 80 countries. We provide medical services and supplies such as preventive and curative healthcare, mental health and psychosocial support, nutrition assistance and epidemic control. We also engage in advocacy initiatives to raise awareness about global public health issues.

Medical assistance from MSF - Ziekenhuis Zonder Grenzen (MSF-ZZG) is provided to vulnerable people who may not have access to healthcare elsewhere due to various factors such as conflict or displacement. This includes children, the elderly, the disabled and other marginalized populations around the world.

We conduct a broad range of activities including providing primary health care services; improving access to safe water; ensuring adequate nutrition; stopping the spread of infectious diseases such as malaria or HIV/AIDS; responding rapidly to disease outbreaks; providing emergency relief in conflict areas; carrying out vaccinations campaigns; setting up temporary health structures for refugees or displaced persons; building or supporting national health systems; conducting research into neglected tropical diseases; training local personnel in community level healthcare delivery systems and promoting public health awareness campaigns among local populations.

Our organization relies primarily on private donations from individuals, groups and corporations around the world. Although governments may occasionally make contributions for specific projects, we do not rely on government funding for our core operations nor do we accept funding with strings attached that could undermine our principles of independence, neutrality and impartiality.

Yes! We are always looking for motivated individuals who want to make a difference in serving those most affected by crisis situations around the world. Depending on your skillset, you can volunteer your time as a doctor, nurse or midwife for short term assignments ranging from one month up two years at either local or international posts. You can also volunteer with us in other capacities such as administrative support staff or drivers at our headquarters locations or remote field operations sites.
