MSF team in Abuja 2017-18
Published Jun 1, 2018What makes MSF successful and efficient. A great team of beautiful people.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) organization
needs not only doctors in order to be efficient. Let's see some of them.
From left to right: Ryuichi, the Admin
Manager. He controls the movements and the flights within the projects and the
coordination in Abuja. Ian is the Capital Log and our Super Hero. When
there is an electricity cut in the city or no water in the tank or the
generator doesn’t work, Ian is always there to work on the solution. Mona, the
Head of Mission Support for MSF Geneva. One woman shows in Abuja, she does
everything! Our Doctor, Thierry. Our pharmacist, she assures that all the
medicins will arrive on time to the projects in the field. Andriy, the Supply
Manager. He orders everything we need, and he facilitates the order until
it will arrive at the field, medicines, medical tools and whatever it is
important for the operation of the hospitals. Phillipe, our Financial
Coordinator, every month he assures that the staff will receive the salary in
time and that the budget is enough to support any humanitarian emergency
and the projects.
But we need also drivers, radio operators
to control the movements, cars and engineers to fix the cars, watchmen to keep
us safe at the office and at the house, we also need more people in pharmacist,
in the financial and the human resource departments and of course we need
Veronika and Sunday, our cook and cleaner... Cause when 15 people live
all together in a house that receive guests every day, Veronika's
meals and Sunday's cleaning is necessary for sure!
And sometimes we need to relax and to have
some fun. So, since Nigerians love football... (well though I wouldn't say that
in our team we have the best players, but still...) we had fun!
