Most of the world simply has no health care. There are vast tracts of land and populations of people who don’t have doctors or must make great efforts to reach medical care.  In addition, masses of displaced people and refugees – over 100,000,000 at last count – need to be rescued from their desperate situations.  Doctors Without Borders, Medecins Sans Frontieres in French (MSF) is on the ground providing quality medical care to those in need across the world.  Listen to four of these healers tell the stories of their work in the field.
