Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization created in 1971 that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural disasters.
**Context**
For several years, MSF has been engaged in a global project to review the processes for valuing all its staff in order to increase their coherence end reduce certain inequalities observed. This vast project is called "Rewards Review" and has several components.
As part of this ambitious project, a review of the health care coverage of staff has been initiated with the aim of improving access to care for MSF staff as much as possible. This specific objective related to staff health care has been entrusted to the Staff Health Unit Intersectional Platform which brings together the coordinators of the 6 Staff Health Unit (SHU) of the 6 Operational Centers (OC).
The first achievement was to define the medical content that will serve as a reference for any staff health policy, this is the Staff Health Care Plan, finalized in January 2024 and validated by HR directors (IDRH) and general managers (EXCOM).
Then, the work focused on the development of a roll-out strategy as well as on the production of a toolbox for the implementation of the Staff Health Care Plan. At the beginning of 2025, it was decided that the implementation would be done gradually, targeting Locally Hired Staff (LHS) and countries where several MSF sections work, with a large number of staff and relatively difficult access to care. The choice of priority countries is underway, in collaboration with the operations departments of the various OC.
The other countries will gradually follow in 2026.
The "Staff Health Care Plan Implementation Coordinator" will be in charge of coordinating the implementation of the staff health care plan according to the roll out strategy defined jointly by the operations departments and the SHU int platform.
