I warmly welcome Dr Javid Abdelmoneim, who will begin his mandate with an unwavering commitment to our shared mission.
As I step away, I carry with me a profound belief that MSF’s greatest strength lies in its people.
Thank you all for allowing me to serve.
None of this was easy. But I leave this role with a deep sense of pride, gratitude, humility, and, above all, trust.
Trust in a movement that still dares to care.
Trust in a new generation of leaders.
Trust in the colleagues who continue to hold the line, wherever they are.
Together, we’ve stood at the edge of impossible choices: in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, Haiti, Yemen, Afghanistan, and other places where the space for humanity has been squeezed. We’ve spoken uncomfortable truths, reshaped our institutions, and remained rooted in our purpose while embracing change.
Responsibility to the patients whose dignity we fight to protect, to the colleagues we’ve lost along the way, and to the principles that hold our movement together; even as the world around us fractures.
After six years serving as International President of @msf.org, the time has come to pass the torch.
This role has never been about power, but about responsibility.
Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr David Nabarro, a steadfast voice for global health and a longtime friend of the humanitarian community.
Our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.
His wisdom, warmth and tireless commitment to health equity will be deeply missed.
There’s no other feeling to describe reading our @msf.org 2024 International Activity Report than gratitude. Thank you to all my MSF colleagues, for being there for people and providing medical care to those who need it.

European leaders have the means to expedite a ceasefire in Gaza but continue to issue hollow statements in response to Israel's atrocities.
@consilium.europa.eu @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @president.europarl.europa.eu @kajakallas.bsky.social - every delay is complicity.

Following attacks on humanitarians in South Sudan, Gaza, and Sudan, including @msf.org and killings of Palestine Red Crescent Society & Relief International staff
....the silence is deafening
No outrage
No accountability
What is the cost for killing humanitarians?

Being on TIME's 100 leaders in philanthropy is an honour. Recognition of what @msf.org’s 7 million donors and 69,000 staff make possible with communities we serve.

❌ No food
❌ No fuel
❌ No medicine
❌ No basic supplies
None of these items have been allowed to enter Gaza since 2 March.
We call on the UNSC, the UNSG, NGOs, celebrities and advocates to join us in urging the Israeli authorities to #StopNOW weaponising aid in Gaza.
I had the fortune of visiting the @msf.org centre for survivors of extreme violence in Mexico City 2 years ago. And while I always hope less people are in need of the comprehensive care provided there, I'm grateful we're there for people who have endured too much in life.
We're looking for a new #PatientRepresentative to join our Board and help align our programmes and commitments with the needs of the communities we serve.
🗓️ Apply by 4 May 2025

While statements are made in this chamber, civilians remain unseen, unprotected, bombed, besieged, raped, displaced, deprived of food, of medical care, of dignity.
#Sudan: Doctors Without Borders is forced to suspend all activities in Zamzam camp, including our field hospital.
The escalation of attacks is making it impossible for our teams to continue providing medical assistance in such dangerous conditions.

Our entire @msf.org family is in mourning over the tragic death of our colleague, Jerry Muhindo Kavali, in DRC.
Jerry worked with us since 2014 and was known for his constant smile. My thoughts are with his family and all his loved ones.
Even war has rules.

Broken screen of some medical equipment destroyed in North Gaza.
Teams are now able to reach northern Gaza.
Our colleagues no longer recognize their own neighborhoods, hospitals have been razed, and people are living in the rubble of their homes with no other shelter amid winter conditions.

“A severe blow to the protection of human rights for migrants and asylum seekers…"
⬆️ This is what the new US executive orders mean. And my colleagues in Mexico are already seeing patients in despair over having their asylum appointments cancelled.
