MSF OCA
Recruitment values

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent medical humanitarian organization. As a non-profit, self-governed movement of over 63,000 dedicated professionals, we provide life-saving medical assistance to people affected by armed conflict, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, and exclusion from healthcare. Our work is guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence, and neutrality.

WE RECRUIT TRANSPARENTLY

We value transparent and fair recruitments. No monetary, goods, or service offers, nor favoritism, will be tolerated in our recruitment processes. Any illicit solicitations can be reported to the justice system. MSF reserves the right to refuse any candidate having benefited from such acts, and will stop collaboration with any workers involved in such acts. MSF will verify all applicant documents submitted as part of the recruitment process, and if any documents are proven fake, the candidate will removed from the recruitment process.

WE VALUE DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION

MSF OCA is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome applications from individuals of all genders, ages, sexual orientations, ethnicities, religions, beliefs, ability status, and all other diversity characteristics.

WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE WOMEN

At MSF, we are fully committed to reshaping our recruitment process to prioritize skills, potential, and growth over traditional knowledge and experience. All vacancy advertisements are carefully reviewed to reflect our dedication to identifying talent based on capability and future potential. We are steadfast in our commitment to building an inclusive and equitable workplace where all individuals have the opportunity to thrive. In particular, we strongly encourage women, along with individuals from historically under-represented groups, to apply and be part of our diverse and dynamic team.

WE ARE COMMITTED TO SAFEGUARDING

We are committed to promoting and maintaining an environment where everyone associated with us —or who comes into contact with our activities— feels safe, respected, and valued.
Our safeguarding approach prioritizes the wellbeing and dignity of the communities we assist, as well as that of our staff and partners. MSF-OCA’s Code of Conduct sets out clear standards for responsible behaviour grounded in respect, inclusion, and accountability. All employees are expected to comply with this Code of Conduct and avoid any behaviour that violates it. Particular care must be taken to prevent harm to those most at risk, including children, adolescents, patients, and people with disabilities.
