COVID-19 activities in indigenous communities - Brazil

MSF is responding to COVID-19 in the central Brazilian state of Mato Grosso do Sul, which is home to many indigenous communities.
Indigenous communities in Brazil have been especially vulnerable to COVID-19. They have historically been neglected, often having their needs marginalized in multiple areas, including in healthcare. Their access to healthcare is difficult not only due to long distances from urban areas, but also because of budget cuts and the historical lack of doctors in the country´s more remote areas. This trends has worsened in recent years and was further exacerbated by the pandemic of Covid-19. Many indigenous are more vulnerable to chronical diseases like hypertension and diabetes because of recent changes in their way of living, like sedentary lifestyles and changing diets; These comorbidities have put them at a higher risk during the COVID-19 pandemic.
