The frequent occurrence of public health crises and globalization underscore the urgency and importance of global public health governance.More and more global civil society organizations and individuals are participating in the process of global public health governance.However,due to the inherent structural contradictions of the global public health system,and the in-depth development of globalization has further deepened the interdependence of the international community,global public health governance still faces many challenges.As the world's largest international medical humanitarian aid organization,Médecins Sans Frontières has been active on the front lines of public health governance since its establishment in 1971,and has been committed to providing medical services to people with medical needs and helping to improve local public health conditions.Médecins Sans Frontières not only provides emergency medical rescue services and mental health care for recipients,but also conducts long-term medical and health projects worldwide and participates in drug development and medical researches.It's participation in global public health governance demonstrates the features of being professional,independent and innovative.Médecins Sans Frontières response quickly to the global public health crisis and has demonstrated extraordinary public health governance in the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa.Of course,Médecins Sans Frontières also faces some challenges.The security risks of humanitarian relief operations,the lack of standards for the allocation of medical resources,and the unicity of the main source of funds have all affected the Médecins Sans Frontières' efficiency and quality in global public health governance.In the future development process,Médecins Sans Frontières should better participate in global public health governance by seizing the windows of opportunity to expand its influence,establish standardized medical resource distribution standards,and strengthen cooperation with other organizations.
