Since October 2004, MSF has been running medical aid programmes around the villages of Mitwaba and Sampwe (Central Katanga). Around 20,000 displaced people have sought refuge in makeshift camps or in the neighbouring villages, where they have been surviving painfully. MSF programmes are meant not only for the displaced but also for local populations, who also live in extremely poor conditions. In Mitwaba village, MSF runs a health centre and supports a health post located at the entrance of Makanda camp. In the village of Kasungeshi, further South, MSF runs a health post, as well as three additional health structures in the health zone of Mufunga Sampwe. Care is offered free of charge.
