In this case, "Doctors Without Borders" is the name of an organization, and should be treated gramatically as a singular proper noun, even though the words 'Borders' and 'Doctors' are both plural. #2 is correct.

The French and international name of the organization is "Médecins Sans Frontières" or just "MSF".

See www.doctorswithoutborders-usa.org
for the use of the organization name as a singular noun.
