Patients from the Hetmanivka village in the Kharkiv region waiting for their primary health care and mental health consultation provided by the MSF mobile clinic team. Most patients MSF meet are women over the age of 60 presenting with chronic illness’, such as hypertension, that have gone uncontrolled for months. Three months after the Ukrainian army retook control of the rural villages and towns of the Kharkiv region, the medical and mental health care needs are still high. As the communities have been left with damaged healthcare facilities and psychological wounds caused by months of fear, isolation and violence, the MSF mobile clinic teams are providing primary and mental health care.

MSF's social worker, Sandra, is carrying out an interview with an HIV patient at Notre-Dame de Caramel Reference Health Center in Goma, North Kivu. Many people living with HIV in Goma face socio-economic difficulties that prevent them from properly following their treatment despite the free medical care provided by MSF. Stigmatisation, social exclusion and poverty are all realities that can push some patients to stop taking their treatment. These challenges can also be acute for survivors of sexual violence, street children and sex workers, who are often particularly vulnerable and marginalised in DRC.
