Project coordinators

MSF project coordinators plan and manage projects and ensure all teams work together effectively to deliver high quality medical care to the communities we work with and assist. They are always based at the project site and work alongside the country coordination team to manage the project and staff. They are responsible for the safety and security of the team.
