ANGOLA

MSF first started working in Angola in 1983 to respond to conflict-related medical emergencies and expanded its activities both geographically and medically as unmet needs were identified. Broad support was provided for basic healthcare including medical attention for people with tuberculosis (TB), HIV/AIDS and Human African Trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness). MSF regularly responded to outbreaks of diseases such as meningitis, measles, cholera, haemorrhagic fever, and other health problems including nutritional crises. › more on Angola

BURKINA FASO

A meningitis epidemic started in Burkina Faso in mid-February 2007 and MSF began supporting health authorities and treating meningitis patients in the third week of February. By the end of this emergency intervention, MSF had treated 1,500 people in Burkina Faso’s capital city, Ouagadougou. › more on Burkina Faso

BURUNDI

Two years after elections brought Pierre Nkurunziza to power in 2005,all remaining rebel groups had signed truces with his government and in February 2007, UN peacekeepers were
able to close down their operations. With the critical emergency phase over, MSF began focusing on filling gaps in healthcare, particularly in the area of women’s health. › more on Burundi

Central african republic

Chronic insecurity, fuelled both by rebels and government forces, caused numerous disruptions in MSF medical aid in the Central African Republic (CAR) during 2006/2007. On June 11, 2007, all activities came to an abrupt halt after the fatal shooting of MSF volunteer Elsa Serfass. Following discussions with all parties involved in ongoing conflict and a careful evaluation of humanitarian space, only a portion of activities had resumed one month later.

CHAD

The need for humanitarian aid in eastern Chad has critically increased since July 2006. Ongoing confrontations between government forces and rebels, combined with border military incursions from Darfur, have fuelled a home-grown civil crisis leaving numerous Chadians killed or wounded and tens of thousands forced to flee their homes. Despite difficult security conditions, MSF has managed to increase its assistance toward internally displaced Chadians without hampering the aid provided to refugees from Darfur. In the southwest of the country, MSF assists refugees from Central African Republic, and has run a malaria treatment project since 2003. › more on Chad

CONGO BRAZZAVILLE

After more than a decade of war and unrest, a peace treaty was signed between rebels and the government of the Republic of Congo in 2003. Although remnants of civil war militias, known as
Ninjas, remain active in the southern Pool region, the situation is no longer considered an emergency and MSF has started handing over its projects. › more on Congo Brazzaville

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF CONGO

The peace process in Democratic Republic of Congo culminated in November 2006 with the election of Joseph Kabila as president. Although a degree of political stability has begun to seep into this vast nation, the country is left in pieces after 50 years of bloodshed and the scale of health needs is considerable. The great majority of the population have limited or no access to healthcare, epidemics break out with regularity and violence continues to have a devastating
impact on people’s lives, particularly in the east of the country. › more on Democratic Republic of Congo

ETHIOPIA

Over 80 percent of Ethiopia’s more than 79 million inhabitants live in rural areas, making the provision of health services in Africa’s second most populous country a major challenge.
The main health problems are malaria, HIV /AID S, tuberculosis (TB) and chronic and acute malnutrition. There are also frequent epidemics and outbreaks of meningitis and measles, and diseases such as kala azar are endemic in some areas. › more on Ethiopia

GUINEA

In early 2007, falling living standards sparked protests resulting in almost 100 deaths, reinforcing fears that Guinea could be on the brink of becoming Africa’s next failed state.
During this unrest, an MSF emergency team worked from the capital, Conakry, helping to treat the hundreds of wounded people admitted to Donka hospital and several urban health centres.

In March 2007, a peace agreement was signed by former rebels in the north and the government-controlled south of the Ivory Coast, leading to significant improvements in a country divided by civil war.

KENYA

The primary focus of MSF in Kenya is on treatment for people with HIV/AIDS. In projects in the slums of Nairobi and in the rural areas of Busia and Homa Bay, MSF provides more than 12,000 people with anti-retroviral treatment (ART). Increasing emphasis is also being placed on an emerging and drug-resistant form of tuberculosis (TB).

Homa Bay, located in the western Nyanza province, was MSF’s first HIV/AIDS programme in Kenya, opening in 1996. With an HIV prevalence of approximately 35 percent, the densely populated Victoria lakeshore is one of the worst affected areas in the country. Initially focusing on TB and on reducing HIV transmission through health facilities, free ART was first introduced in 2001 › more on Kenya

LIBERIA

Four years after the end of its devastating civil war, Liberia is slowly beginning to recover, but many Liberians are struggling to find even basic services, including healthcare. Improving the health of mothers and children is a main focus of MSF’s work in the country.

Each month, more than 1,500 children are treated at Island and Benson hospitals in the capital, Monrovia. Benson Hospital also provides maternity care and obstetric surgery and runs a women’s health centre that offers care before and after birth as well as family planning services. Also in Monrovia, two MSF-supported primary health clinics handle 12,000 curative consultations each month. › more on Liberia

NIGER

The extreme nutritional crisis in Niger in 2005 provoked an international response, but malnutrition here is both recurrent and life threatening. Even though some regions of the country produce a surplus of cereals, a “hunger gap” exists between May and October when family millet stocks become depleted and the country’s free market economic system renders food unaffordable for the poorest families. Mortality rates for children under five years old are
very high, similar to those in countries at war. › more on Niger

RWANDA

Since 2002, MSF’s work in Rwanda has focused on helping people with HIV/AIDS. The MSF program treats patients in Kimironko and Kinyinya health centres, both located in the capital city, Kigali. The projects include voluntary counseling and testing, medical care to prevent the development of AIDS, treatment of opportunistic infections and prevention of mother-to-child transmission. By June 2007, 6,200 patients were enrolled in the program, with 2,723 on antiretroviral (ARV) medicines. MSF helps implement the national AIDS protocol and promotes access to generic ARVs, the less expensive alternatives to patented brands. › more on Rwanda
