MSF concludes emergency operations

    ABIDJAN
    Midicins Sans Frontihres (MSF) concluded its emergency operations in Guinea-Bissau in June, according to the OCHA report, which said that during the previous year, US $1.4 million were invested in MSF programmes funded mainly by USAID/OFDA, ECHO and Norwegian Aid. MSF helped provide safe water and sanitation to displaced persons, distributed drugs and basic equipment to health centres and provided technical support for immunization campaigns against meningitis and measles. MSF will continue to support health workers with a project related to cholera control in health centres and technical support and expertise for epidemiological surveillance, according to the OCHA report, which said that the project will be implemented with the Ministry of Health.
