What had started as an “MSF emergency malnutrition response” in September 2021 has since evolved into a long-term project to address the recurrent nutritional crises in Chad’s Hadjer Lamis region.

In a region that experiences recurrent outbreaks of preventable childhood diseases, such as measles and malaria, that exacerbate malnutrition and contribute to morbidity and mortality, hundreds of mothers are forced to travel several kilometers each week to give their babies a chance of survival.

MSF teams are supporting the inpatient therapeutic feeding centre (ITFC) in Massakory provincial hospital and managing ambulatory therapeutic feeding centres (ATFC) in support of the 12 out of 18 health centers in the district. Since May 2023, MSF has brought medical care closer to people through the integrated community health care + (ICCM+) approach managed by community members with MSF supervision - treating the most common illnesses as well as malnutrition.
