Since the beginning of the crisis in the North-West and South-West Regions of Cameroon, an estimated half a million people have been forced from their homes.

More than 44,000 of them fled to neighbouring Nigeria.

Mostly to Cross River State

In response, MSF started emergency activities in December 2017.

Our teams installed or repaired boreholes, hand pumps and latrines.

We operated mobile clinics and conducted more than 35,000 consultations.

In the region, the most reported diseases were:

1. upper respiratory tract infections

2. malaria

3. skin diseases

More recently we also provided mental health support for the refugees

and training sessions for Nigerian health workers
