This February, it would be one year since MSF team started providing medical support inside the Premises of Victoria Community Centre, with the support of One Happy Family. In addition to providing medical consultations in MSF clinic, our team reached out to key community safe spaces to facilitate access to care and raise health awareness. We are saddened to learn that this valuable centre is facing funding issues, risking the interruption of important health and social services to people in need.

Most asylum seekers and refugees in Athens face multiple barriers to accessing essential services including language and administrative requirements, and thus need health support and guidance on service obtainment. In the photos, MSF medical doctor Demitri provides primary health consultations to patients, while our health promotion team Nour and Hashemi support community members with preliminary health screening and referral guidance.
