Our teams focus on supporting women, children, and the large number of refugees from conflicts in neighbouring countries. In 2022, our teams responded to several emergencies in the capital, N’Djamena, and other parts of the country.

In the southwest, we provided medical consultations and hospital referrals for people who had fled intercommunal clashes in northern Cameroon. As a separate intercommunal conflict in the Chadian region of Mayo-Kebbi Est pushed more people to flee, we provided medical assistance in Kélo and responded to a measles outbreak in Bongor.

Further east, in Adré district, we scaled up activities to assist a new influx of refugees following an upsurge in conflict in Sudan’s Darfur region. We also helped improve access to medical care, safe water, and hygiene and sanitation services in refugee camps in Guereda district between March and December.

After N’Djamena was hit by floods in September, we responded to the urgent needs of people left with minimal access to services and exposed to heightened risks of diseases. Our teams offered medical care, nutrition support, essential relief items, and water and sanitation services in several displacement sites.

In Am Timan, we responded to an alarming situation by treating severely malnourished children in six health facilities and the hospital. Meanwhile, we maintained our paediatric and nutrition services in the capital, and in Moïssala and Massakory.

In the Mandoul region, we also supported vaccinations and treatment in response to an outbreak of yellow fever in Moïssala and Goundi districts, and worked in partnership with the Ministry of Health to improve obstetric and maternal healthcare at Moïssala hospital.

In Dar Sila, we continued to run our community-based health programme, putting community members at the heart of all strategic decision making, with the aim of preventing diseases and safeguarding maternal health.
