We often hear it said within MSF that the aid system is unable to provide effective relief, or that the aid system’s ability to provide aid is in decline. These statements, which suggest that MSF is itself outside the "system", are based on the very real number of people in relief operations who need help but do not receive it, or do not receive enough of it. 

We often hear it said within MSF that the aid system is unable to provide effective relief, or that the aid system's ability to provide aid is in decline.

The Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) and other researchers, including MSF-Crash Dr. Jean Hervé Bradol, report a persistent deficiency in truly new therapeutics for neglected diseases, despite nominal progress and an acceleration in research and development (R&D) efforts. 

L'éradication totale de la poliomyélite est-elle un but raisonnable ? Dans un article paru sur La vie des idées, Claire Magone décompte les effets pervers d'une campagne qui n'a plus d'autre fin qu'elle-même et risque de porter préjudice à d'autres enjeux de santé mondiale.
