Internship Career Management

MSF is an international, independent medical humanitarian organization. We are a non-profit, self-governed worldwide movement of more than 63,000 people.   

 

We provide emergency medical assistance during armed conflict, natural disasters, outbreaks of deadly diseases, and assist those who are excluded from healthcare. MSF delivers care based on need, and when we see injustice, we speak out. We are an organization that remains impartial, knowledgeable, and effective, and this is what makes the difference between life and death.   

 

People are our priority. At Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)/Artsen zonder Grenzen, we are committed to an inclusive culture that encourages and supports the diverse voices of our employees. We encourage diverse applicants including individuals of all gender identities, ages, sexual orientations, nationalities, ethnic backgrounds, religions, beliefs, social and marital status, people with different abilities and all other diversity characteristics and how they intersect together. 

 

At MSF Netherlands (OCA), the People & Culture department is a responsive, human-centered function that actively supports MSF's primary work, delivering healthcare to all. We focus on engagement, culture, and strategic impact, grounded in the belief that embracing the human factor is key to meaningful change.
