Merlin

Merlin is an international health charity, sending medical experts to the frontline of global emergencies. When disaster strikes, our doctors and nurses work around the clock to save lives quickly, often putting their own lives at risk. Working together with tireless health workers on the ground, we take countries shattered by war, earthquake or floods from emergency to recovery – staying for as long as it takes. How we work Merlin works within existing health systems to realise everyone's right to accessible, appropriate, affordable health care. What we stand for We are committed to helping build lasting health services which are used and championed by everyone. We are specialists in both rapid medical response and health service rebuilding, effectively taking countries from emergency to recovery. We are undaunted by the challenges of providing health care to vulnerable people living in the most difficult, forgotten corners of the world. We are determined to campaign to make health a global priority; giving people caught up in conflict, disaster and health system collapse the chance to lead healthy lives. We care. For people at risk, for the lives we hope always to save, for the safety of our staff. We care about being accountable to our patients, partners, supporters and donors. And we care about keeping our promise: to stay on, beyond the crisis, for as long as we are needed. To contribute to Merlin's work please visit www.merlin.org.uk
