Sweden in Transition #29 - Lindsay Bryson at MSF
Episode 29
Monday, 21 March, 2022

Lindsay has been working for MSF for almost 20 years in various roles and locations mainly in Africa (Ethopia, Haïti, Congo…) and is now based in Stockholm. MSF. Médecins Sans Frontières is known internationally as Doctors without Borders. Founded 50 years ago in France by a group of journalists and doctors, this NGO is now a worldwide movement of nearly 65,000 people. It provides medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare. We recorded this episode just before the war started in Ukraine.Since the fighting broke out, MSF's teams have been working around the clock to meet urgent needs. Getting the right supply at the right place, preparing staff for large influxe of injured people, but also looking at the needs of the thousands people who have fled the fighting, starting mobile clinics to provide medical care.I leave you with the initial episode where we speak more broadly about how an NGO like MSF works and especially how they maintain their independence, the humanitarian crisis around the globe and their colonial and post colonial origins but also how they are impacted by climate change.
