Due to the context, the SNNP Region experiences a substantial displacement of people, bouts of outbreaks and therefore an increase on medical need. On a regular basis, we assess the needs in terms of prevention (wash activities, health promotion) and health care. MSF reorients its strategy and organize the activities consequently. There are still many challenges in the area that will require from our team a big flexibility to adapt to the needs: changes in the location or the specific tasks that the staff was performing, extra hours, etc.

MSF is an independent, neutral and impartial organisation that provides quality medical care free of charge regardeless the ethnic origin of our patients, so to both local and refugee population. It’s mandatory that all our staff is aware and respect the cultural differences of our patients and colleagues. The NTS will be requested to enbody the MSF concept of humanity, respect and kindness when dealing with colleagues and beneficiaries
