Additional Information / Shotlist Script:
Hello, my name is Fabio Biolchini. I am the regional operational team leader of Doctors Without Borders for South America. Since May, MSF is working in the Yanomami Indigenous territory, which is located in the north part of Brazil in a very remote area in the Amazon jungle. This territory is a vast area with the size of Portugal, where around 30,000 Indigenous people live, with difficulties accessing healthcare. Now those people are living also with a malaria outbreak. We have been responding to this crisis in partnership with the Indigenous health division of the Ministry of Health of Brazil. We have been sending teams and drugs to those territories to help diagnose and treat malaria cases. The specific area inside the Yanomami Iindigenous territory where we are working is called Auoris, where there is one of the biggest concentrations of population in the Territory with around 4,000 to 5000 inhabitants. The Indigenous people needing more complex treatment are referred to a place in the capital, Boa Vista, called CASAI, which is a health infrastructure. We are also working there with our professionals – doctors, nurses – since the month of February. In addition to those activities, MSF is also working in Boa Vista since 2018, responding to the big influx of migration of Venezuelans crossing the border from Venezuela to Brazil. In Brazil, we are also working in Marajo Island, which is located in the north part of Brazil in the Amazon region. We are there since April, bringing healthcare to people that are living in great remoteness in the fluvial axis of this region. Those are the projects that we have in Brazil. We focus on people in the higher state of vulnerability and facing barriers to access healthcare.
