MSF activities in Masisi, Eastern DRC

MSF began activities in Masisi in 2007, in a context that had been affected by conflict for two decades and caused massive population displacement. With ongoing needs in the region due to sporadic fighting and a lack of health facilities, MSF’s project supports Masisi General Hospital and Masisi and Nyabiondo health centres. The MSF teams support the full extent of primary and secondary health care services (surgery, internal medicine, gynecology, maternity, pediatric, neonatology as well as a « village d’accueil » for women in their third trimester of a risky pregnancy who can stay there to ensure they have access to medicalized support to give birth) and undertake mobile clinics with a focus on malaria (curative/preventative) in remote health posts; watsan & health promotion. In 2016, the hospital registered nearly 4787 assisted births, 18.266 hospitalisations, 3804 surgeries.
