Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was founded in 1971 in Paris by a group of journalists and doctors. We provide medical assistance to people affected by conflicts, epidemics, natural disasters, or exclusion from healthcare. Our teams consist of tens of thousands of healthcare professionals, logistics staff, and administrative personnel, all united by our Charter and guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence, and neutrality. We are a non-profit, self-governed organization based on an associative structure.
MSF has identified migrant and refugee survivors of torture and ill‐treatment (SoT) among the most vulnerable and neglected people. For this reason, since 2020, MSF has developed in the Palermo metropolitan area a program specifically aimed at this target population through a multidisciplinary model of care (medical, psychological, and socio‐legal support). From October 2023 two memoranda of understanding have been signed with the Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Policlinico (AOUP)
"Paolo Giaccone" and the University of Palermo with the aim of strengthening the SoT program in both clinical and research components.
