**Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)** is an international humanitarian aid organisation that provides medical assistance in more than 70 countries to populations in distress, to victims of natural or manmade disasters and to victims of armed conflicts, without discrimination and irrespective of race, religion, creed, or political affiliation.

**MSF Luxembourg**
- MSF Luxembourg is a historical partner section of the MSF movement created in 1986. With 35 staff members, the section’s team works to raise awareness on humanitarian issues among Luxembourg’s population, raise funds needed to finance humanitarian interventions, supports MSF volunteers who go into the field and carry out, through LuxOR, operational research projects directly linked to health programs to help improve their efficiency and effectiveness.

LuxOR is the operational research arm of the OCB. SAMU, BRAMU, and MEMU are medical units of the OCB Medical Department. It is composed of polyvalent medical staff working in, and outside of the operational cells - e.g. medical, paramedical, environmental health domains, etc. The department support is organized in resources deployed in thematic circles with specific time-bond deliverables.

The LuxOR unit has staff based in the offices in Luxembourg, Brussels, Beirut, and Toronto, with core activities including operational research, epidemiology support, capacity building, and a focus on research linked to the domains covered by the medical department (as mentioned above). The second unit (although a medical unit) involved in Operational Research is SAMU, based in Cape Town, South Africa, which focuses on HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and Tuberculosis.
