MSF GEAR

There are more benefits than just learning what it is like to be a Doctors Without Borders staff person responding to an emergency and knowing that you are contributing to a great cause. We are opening up our cabinets and pulling out gear that is usually reserved for staff and insiders, as well as books that have special meaning to the organization to let you know how much we appreciate your support.

  • Copy of Six Months in Sudan
    • In part-memoir/part-blog, Six Months in Sudan, Doctors Without Borders physician James Maskalyk sets out for Abyei, a town in the disputed oil-rich region of Sudan, in 2007 as an MSF doctor in the field. Equipped with his experience as an emergency physician in a downtown hospital and his desire to understand the hardest parts of the world, Maskalyk’s days were spent treating malnourished children, fending off a measles epidemic, and staying out of the soldiers’ way. Worn raw in the struggle to meet overwhelming needs, he returned home six months later more affected by the experience, the people, and the place than he had anticipated.
