CAR - MSF activities at Berberati Regional University Hospital

In January 2014, MSF began activities at Berberati Regional University Hospital to meet the health needs of the displaced and to treat victims of violence. Although violence in the town has reduced since January, the situation is still volatile and health needs remain massive. In preparation for an expected increase in malnutrition cases, MSF has recently expanded the bed capacity in the hospital. Between 23 June and 20 July, there were 153 children under five admitted to the hospital for severe malnutrition. In July, 2,774 outpatient consultations were carried out, 1,995 of them for patients suffering from malaria. There were 400 patients admitted to the inpatient department, 335 surgeries were performed, and 251 babies were born. Weekly mobile clinics are also carried out for 200 Muslims who are living in enclaves. Additionally, MSF is providing support for the testing and treatment of malaria and for treatment of malnutrition in seven nearby health centres. Severe cases are referred to the hospitals in Berberati or Carnot.

Berberati, CAR’s second largest city, is located in the southwest of the country around 120km from the border with Cameroon
