In October 2023, in partnership with the Eastern Cape Department of Health, we launched a project to improve the identification and management of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the Amathole District, which is MSF's first NCD project in South Africa. We aim to apply lessons from two decades of working on HIV and tuberculosis (TB) in South Africa to enhance NCD care in rural settings.
We also work with undocumented people and migrants in Tshwane, where we run a project that provides access to vaccines for these underserved communities.
Having achieved the UNAIDS 90-90-90 target in 2018 in Eshowe, KwaZulu-Natal, we redirected our approach to tackle the TB epidemic and reduce the number of cases in the area.
After 22 years of activities and campaigning, we closed our HIV and TB project in Khayelitsha, Western Cape in 2020.
