Additional Information / Shotlist In 2010, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) opened free health care services in Kamrangirchar, a densely populated slum of Dhaka, where very few health facilities are financially accessible for most of the population.

MSF’s aim is to provide reproductive health care for adolescents, enhance access to medical services for survivors of sexual and domestic violence and provide primary health care to factory workers. MSF is also involved in the screening and referral of tuberculosis patients and collaborates with the Ministry of Health to the Extended Program of Immunisation.
A Community outreach team makes daily visits to households, factories and schools to promote MSF’s services, sensitize the population about hygiene and other health related issues, follow up patients and ensure active tuberculosis case detection.
