Mozambique is a project where we’ve observed a noticeable effect of climate change on the health of our patients. In recent years, several crises appear to be related to climate change. Our goal with using comics to discuss “Planetary Health” is to simplify complex ideas into easily understandable drawings. We plan to collaborate with a local artist, allowing their work to reflect their own experience and understanding of MSF’s mission in Mozambique.
Mozambique is among the most vulnerable and one of the world's least prepared countries with regard to climate shocks.
Since 2022, MSF has been actively responding to the impact of this climate crisis, including reacting to climate-sensitive diseases in the Nampula province. The primary objective of the intervention is to address the gaps in the healthcare system, in relation to neglected tropical diseases such as lymphatic filariasis and schistosomiasis, as well as vector-borne diseases like severe malaria and dengue.
