AD version:
In the Central African Republic, extreme poverty and violent conflict have decimated the country’s healthcare system.

Most people live below the poverty line.

Life expectancy is the lowest in the world at 53 years old.

Thousands of people have been killed or wounded.

Millions have been displaced during years of devastating – but largely underreported – conflict.

In some regions, the health system is completely non-functioning.

Many preventable diseases like measles and malaria continue to take a toll.

Despite having the highest rates of HIV in Central Africa, CAR has one of the lowest access to drugs that can treat and prevent such viruses.

Our teams are on the ground providing general and emergency care.

In many regions Doctors Without Borders health facilities are the only places people can seek treatment free of charge.

This is just one of many underreported crises happening right now around the world.
