MSF South Africa

MSF has carried out projects in South Africa since 1999. In 2007, MSF consolidated its presence in the country by opening a delegate office in Johannesburg, which is part of a network of 20 MSF offices worldwide.

MSF South Africa recruits medical staff and other professionals to work in MSF projects around the world while also raising funds to support our international work.

We share information with the South African public, the media, government agencies, and other non-governmental organisations to raise awareness about the plight of those people we assist. MSF South Africa also supports MSF programmes in the region by providing medical expertise, including specific medical training for MSF field staff.

Meet the MSF SA staff and MSF SA Board

MSF South Africa is a section 21 organisation and acquired NPO (Non-Profit Organisation) status in 2007.

MSF Projects in South Africa

Since 2000 MSF has been working in South Africa, primarily in response to the HIV and TB epidemics and working to increase access to healthcare for vulnerable migrants.

Edson Chidovi

Edson Chidovi's picture
Dr Edson Chidovi joined MSF in 2007, when he was working as a doctor at a mission hospital in rural Buhera district, Zimbabwe. After joining MSF he spearheaded the roll-out of the decentralized HIV/O.I/ART care program, which had been started earlier at a smaller scale. Under his supervision, the project grew to cover 22 rural heath centres and 2 rural hospitals, reaching out to thousands of disadvantaged and remote patients affected and infected with HIV. The concept of decentralized care was shown to be effective and innovative. At the same time, Dr. Chidovi managed nurse-based ART initiation and mentorship, and an integration into the MOH program. He went on to become the assistant medical coordinator, where he oversaw operations in the MSF HIV, Nutritional as well as the Sexual and gender based violence projects in Zimbabwe. Edson became a board member for MSF South Africa in April 2013. He is currently working towards an executive diploma in business leadership.
