FR - Haitian MSF Nurse Explains Why Staff Continue to Show Up for Patients Despite the Violence

Every day, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Haitian staff come to work and save lives in Port-au-Prince while violence and insecurity continue to rock the capital. "We know that the population is counting on us," said Claudia, a nurse supervisor at MSF's emergency center in the Turgeau neighborhood. "That's why, despite the challenges, despite the problems we face every day, we're always there to provide the care they need."
