Côte d'Ivoire
The country’s health system is one of the weakest in Africa, with only one medical doctor per 10,000 inhabitants, and a lack of medical infrastructure.
Epilepsy and mental health are stigmatised and little-diagnosed in Côte d'Ivoire. MSF teams work in Gbêkê region, in the country’s centre, to improve access to mental healthcare, and diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, at clinics.
In Abidjan, our teams screen people at the community level for both COVID-19 and for malaria, referring people to vaccination centres for the former, and providing treatment for mild cases of the latter.
MSF also works to provide consultations via telemedicine – the practice of providing medical consultations via communication technologies – to patients, to improve access to healthcare.
