Do you already have experience in the field?

A VALUABLE EXPERIENCE

“I joined the Médecins Sans Frontières team two years ago as a pharmacist, after several other experiences of being involved with humanitarian work. I had worked in Haiti for over two years with Pharmacie et Aide humanitaire, and spent several months in Nepal as a consultant pharmacist with the World Health Organisation for the post-earthquake response. I also had experiences in very different settings and cultures outside of pharmaceuticals, which meant I was able to find my feet in the field quickly and easily with MSF. I understood certain issues more quickly, and they soon gave me the opportunity to take on positions of responsibility: I was a pharmacy coordinator in the Central African Republic, and then in Jordan.”
