Biography | Javid Abdelmoneim — The Geneva Building Where the Three-Year Mandate Began
kevin
On 27 June 2025 the International General Assembly, meeting in Colombo, elected Mohamed Javid Abdelmoneim international president of Médecins Sans Frontières.
Section notices from Italy and South Asia date the vote to that assembly, which ran from 26 to 28 June.
He took the three-year mandate on 5 September 2025. MSF Switzerland's German-language announcement is explicit about the start date.
The International Office that serves that presidency now sits at 140 Route de Ferney, in the Sauerbruch Hutton headquarters opened in Geneva's Quartier des Nations after the old Rue de Lausanne 78 building was sold.
A March 2024 photograph on Wikimedia Commons shows the Ferney façade. That is the public building a visitor can stand in front of.
The months immediately before the vote were field months, not office months.
He was medical team leader in Gaza, then medical team leader in Omdurman until February 2025.
The Colombo venue of the assembly is not named in the public notices used here, so this pin is the Geneva office where the mandate is exercised, not a guessed hotel in Sri Lanka.
The Geneva pin is the start of the mandate, not the whole career.
