MSF mobile mental health staff conducts a counseling session in Mullaitivu district. Numerous communities in areas affected by the fighting witnessed deeply traumatic events that took place during the last phase of the civil war. While the physical scars may have healed for many, significant mental health care needs remain. Many lost everything during the war and face new difficulties in the resettlement process. Drawing on extensive experience of working in conflict and post-conflict settings, MSF launched mental health activities in 2009, first in Menik Farm ? a camp for thousands of people displaced by the war ? and later in eight different sites in Mullaitivu district. As patients were unable to travel to health facilities due to a lack of public transport and money, mobile teams had to travel to very remote areas to conduct sessions. In August 2012, MSF handed over the mental health programme - its last remaining activity in the country.

Nurses of the Ministry of Health receive training in Sangker operational district, ahead of the relaunch of the hepatitis C nursing activity pilot, where nurses will lead the care of hepatitis C patients.
In addition to skills related to hepatitis C, new measures around infection prevention control regarding COVID-19 are taught.

Until the end of June 2020, just 141 cases were confirmed in Cambodia, and a quarter of them originates from a European tourist group in March. The authorities were quick to implement thorough contact tracing and asked our teams to help with this. We’ve also contributed to the new IPC and clinical guidelines for Cambodia and developed training units. Subsequently, about 300 staff members of hospitals run by the Ministry of health received training. Given the difficulty of importing medical equipment, the team is now trying innovative approaches to develop oxygen ventilation systems by using commercially available diving masks and 3D-printing the necessary connectors in the country in anticipation of an outbreak of COVID-19 in Cambodia.

Médecins Sans Frontières/ Doctors Without Borders (MSF) officially launched medical activities in the equatorial Pacific island nation of Kiribati in October 2022. Our team there, including a paediatrician, midwife and general practitioner, support the Ministry of Health and Medical Services to improve maternal and neonatal health outcomes. 

“Kiribati has one of the highest burdens of disease in the world, including the highest incidence of leprosy, one of the highest of TB and diabetes; and some of the lowest access to primary healthcare. There are clear needs here that are not being met,” says Alison Jones, MSF’s medical coordinator for Kiribati. On top of that, the environmental issues are significant, and growing.   

Kiribati is among the most climate-vulnerable places on earth. Along with erosion, the salinisation of underground water sources and soil, warmer air temperatures, more frequent ‘king tides’ and drought are increasing.  

The climate crisis is a health crisis: human health is dependent on the health and sustainability of the environment. Nowhere is this more evident than for people living within the constraints of an island. 

Seventy-five percent of deaths in the Pacific region are due to NCDs, and NCDs are now recognised as the leading cause of health problems in Kiribati. The rates of diabetes in Kiribati are high and increasing. 

“Diabetes in pregnant women is of particular concern as the condition can be high risk for mums and babies, who require access to secondary (specialist) care for management during labour, delivery, and after birth,” says MSF’s project medical referent in Kiribati, midwife Sandra Sedlmaier-Ouattara. 

MSF’s work in Kiribati aims initially to improve diabetes detection and management and hypertension related to maternal health in the Southern Gilbert Islands, based at Tabiteuea North

As a global financial hub, Hong Kong projects an image of prosperity and resource abundance. In its shadows however, consistently marginalised groups fall outside of the well-developed healthcare system’s reach. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has provided free primary healthcare to the homeless communities in Hong Kong’s Yau Tsim Mong and Shum Shui Po districts, the majority of whom are aged 50 or above, since August 2023. People experiencing homelessness in Hong Kong do not receive adequate medical care most often due to their lack of health literacy and inability to prioritise their own health and well-being. 
 
Responding to these unmet needs, MSF initiated a model of social-medical partnerships with local NGOs to deliver holistic patient-centred care, which MSF teams provided by offering regular basic health screenings, health promotion sessions and psychosocial support for people experiencing homelessness, while collaboration partners offered ongoing case follow-up. These local partners also received support in capacity-building to ensure continuity of care for people in the programme as MSF’s project came to an end in December 2024.
