Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) Scientific Day
presents research from our field programmes. It will take place on
7 & 8 May and
will be hosted at the Royal Society of Medicine, London, UK and in New
Delhi, India - a true ‘conference without
borders’.

Everything will be streamed online, including lower bandwidth options, so people in countries where our research applies can participate. Last year over 2200 people watched online from 102 countries. Join the debate and tweet your questions using #MSFsci

outbreak.
