A few years ago, the only facility run by the government for 2,70,000 residents was in a poor state, leaving it underused. In 2010, MSF partnered with the local government to refurbish Mon District hospital and train its staff. Our medical and administrative professionals since worked alongside them to help improve their skills.
MSF developed the pharmacy, set up a biomedical waste management system, integrated laboratory, new state of the art delivery room and an operation theatre (the only functioning one in the region) and improved infection control and hygiene.
