Stretchers are an indispensable part of MSF’s work. They’re regularly put into action in areas of conflict; packed onto MSF boats for trips to remote areas; loaded into the back of every MSF Land Cruiser; used in hospitals when beds are in short supply; and are a key element in our inflatable hospital kit. Lightweight and durable, and made of stain-resistant vinyl that can be easily cleaned and disinfected after each use, stretchers help MSF stabilize patients in crisis and transport them safely to the lifesaving care they need.
