In Congo's rainforest, MSF cured 15.000 pygmies affected by Yaws, a neglected disease, in 3 months (Sept - Oct 2012) using a new therapeutic regime (single dose oral antibiotic)
Yaws is a neglected tropical disease caused by a bacterium that affects the skin, bone and cartilage. Lack of resources, it has never been completely eradicated. Humans are the only reservoir of this bacterial infection. A recent discovery that a single-dose of azithromycin (given orally) can cure the disease has raised the prospects of eradicating yaws altogether. 
It affects many isolated communities whose populations Congo Pigmy North, away from the health care system. 

MSF-Epicentre with OCP decided to launch a universal treatment with azithromycin that can eradicate this illness among Aboriginal people (Pygmies) in the Bétou and Enyellé districts. During two months (in september and october 2012), three MSF teams have traveled on the Ubangi River, which separates the two Congos and trails through the rainforest.

Vaccination campaign under a tree in a refugeecamp in the mountains. The next place to visit is a 12-hour walk away.   The war between Ethiopia and Eritrea made estimated 300.000 people to IDPs, a lot of them where in small camps in the mountains between Senafe and Adi Kai. A lack of clean water and big needs regarding Non Food Items were the biggest problems. So an MSF Team with a doctor or a nurse and a logistician went together with two translators, two donkey drivers and 4 donkeys in the mountains to visit 6 different IDP-camps and returned after 10 days.

Achan arrived by ambulance after being bitten by a snake. It happened at night when Achan had gone to fetch water. She was attacked by a snake on her way. She was immediately taken to intensive care at the hospital in Abyei supported by Médecins Sans Frontières. She underwent surgery to remove necrotic tissue and was given an antidote.
 “The snake was very poisonous because shortly after the bite I felt itching and began to swell”.  
The woman has two children, one of whom came to the hospital with her because she is still breastfeeding. Achan’s mother also came with her. 
“I didn't see the snake because it was dark, but from the pain I immediately realised that it couldn't have been a common insect”.
