At the core of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) identity is a commitment to medical ethics, independence, neutrality, and impartiality. We go where people’s medical needs are greatest. These ideals have driven every aspect of our work – from medical care and logistical coordination, to finance and communications – since MSF was established in 1971. 

The Improvement & Innovation Lead is our internal technical expert on Telemedicine’s portfolio of services and a champion of service improvements to improve access and use.  The Lead will manage the I&I Team, recruit, and develop technical Subject Matter Experts, and direct them in supporting Telemedicine achieving its visions.  The Improvement & Innovation Lead will pilot new initiatives based on their evaluation of Telemedicine case data. They will also set standards for service and design along with best practices to be executed by the I&I Team.
