Five years in Maroua: Essential care in an ongoing crisis
Format
Since 2016, Médecins sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) medical teams have provided emergency surgical care and mental healthcare at Maroua regional hospital, in the Far North region of Cameroon, part of the Lake Chad Basin. The services provided by MSF teams here range from emergency trauma surgery for those caught up in conflict, to long-term surgical and rehabilitative care for people involved in car accidents, and psychological healthcare. MSF has performed more than 14,000 surgeries, and provided more than 8,000 mental health consultations in Maroua since 2016.
