MSF in Democratic Republic of Congo

La République démocratique du Congo (RDC) manque d'infrastructures de soins de santé de base. La population a souffert de nombreuses épidémies évitables de choléra, paludisme et rougeole au cours des dernières années. Les conflits dans les provinces de l'Est, ont entraîné le déplacement de milliers de personnes.

Des décennies de conflit, le manque d'investissement dans un système de santé et la violence continue ont été très néfastes. L'aide humanitaire est concentrée autour des grandes villes et des lieux qui sont considérés comme sécurisés, mais il y a une nécessité d'une réponse rapide aux besoins des populations dans tout l'est du pays. MSF est présent en RDC depuis 1997, et travaille à augmenter la disponibilité des soins de santé et répondre aux urgences de santé.

MSF vient également en aide aux personnes déplacées dans des camps dans le Nord et Sud-Kivu, ainsi que dans des hôpitaux à Katanga et Kinshasa. Les projets de MSF dans les régions couvrent un large éventail de questions de soins primaires, malnutrition, VIH, paludisme et tuberculose. Fin 2013, MSF avait 3604 employés en République démocratique du Congo.
