What We Do
MSF conducts mobile clinics to take basic healthcare to people living in remote villages, who find it extremely difficult to access medical care. Our teams provide free treatment for malaria, respiratory infections, pneumonia and skin diseases among others. The clinics also offer a separate area for women to address needs in reproductive health, where group and individual sessions are conducted on topics such as hygiene, care of newborns, and sexually transmitted infections.
- Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh & Telangana
Due to a longstanding, low-intensity conflict, large sections of the population of Chhattisgarh have extremely limited or no access to healthcare, especially in remote areas of the states. Medical facilities are few and far between, and in such a scenario even preventable, treatable conditions such as malaria can become fatal.
In 2024
MSF initiated a new mobile clinic in Hirmangunda, a rural area with a high prevalence of malaria.
Additionally, a measles outbreak emerged in mid-2024, prompting MSF in collaboration with the Ministry
of Health to vaccinate 851 children in mobile clinic areas, with 81% of the vaccinated children aged
between 5 and 15 years.
At the beginning of the year, a new component to address malnutrition among pregnant and lactating
women was implemented, complementing the therapeutic treatment of malnutrition among children.
