MSF closed the last of our projects in the UK in December 2021
In the UK, MSF teams have worked with asylum seekers to provide mental health services.
A small team of cultural mediators and mental health professionals conducted group sessions for asylum seekers housed at Napier Barracks near Dover. A mental health phone line and individual counselling sessions were also provided. We ended this project and closed the last of our activites in the UK in December 2021.
MSF teams first worked in the UK between April and June 2020, having provided patient care for people with COVID-19 in London.
