Our teams provide medical care and assistance to displaced people and local communities, who often struggle with a lack of food, in the east and the south of the country.
We work to prevent or help mitigate the seasonal peaks of malnutrition and malaria among children, including across the Sahel region in Adre, on the border with Sudan, which is an area marked by violence and displacement.
We also improve healthcare for women and children, and work on preventing and responding to measles outbreaks.
An emergency response unit (CERU) in southern Chad is capable of delivering medical care in under 72 hours. The CERU responds to emergencies including measles outbreaks, influxes of refugees fleeing the Central African Republic, and intercommunal clashes.
