MSF in Turkmenistan
"..our project proposals have been repeatedly rejected which does not leave us with a lot of choice but to close down,” said Frank Dörner, General Director at MSF. “We had hoped to be able to assist the Turkmen population which is exposed to high rates of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis, but still has no access to care and effective treatment.”

With MSF closing its medical activities, Turkmenistan loses the last international humanitarian NGO in the country.
