This is Bakhita, a health promoter in the Doro camp hospital. Health promoters play a hugely important role within the camp, in the UK if we are ill we will go to the doctor or the hospital, it’s just accepted that it is the correct course of action – in South Sudan there aren’t doctors surgeries or hospitals and most people seek an elders help or just wait it out – sadly this can often have dire consequences. Bakhita goes out into the community and explains what to do if your child shows signs of malaria or diphtheria, she gets people into the clinics and the illness diagnosed, treated and cured. Without these wonderful people there sadly would be thousands of preventable deaths.

Why we need your partnership
Today: MSF teams are responding to increasingly complex and interconnected emergencies around the world. Factors like climate change, global migration, conflict, rising inflation and economic crisis are driving growing humanitarian needs.
Tomorrow: Meeting future medical humanitarian challenges requires investment – in people, climate resilience and health innovation. And that’s why we need your help.

People
MSF Academy graduation ceremony in Old Fangak. South Sudan, 2022.
People are at the heart of everything we do: MSF staff, the communities we work with and the people like you who support us.
Gatjang Thiep, MSF Academy student in Old Fangak, pours water into a nasal catheter he has placed on a child mannequin, to hydrate his patient. He is assisted by fellow student Tabitha Nyayual. After 18 months of training, Gatjang and Tabitha graduated from the MSF Academy in June 2022.
The MSF Academy for Healthcare offers training and upskilling opportunities for our staff in countries including South Sudan and Sierra Leone. This improves MSF’s quality of care and strengthens local health systems.

Climate Resilience
Benhilda Mtungila sorts through material at the bio-waste recycling project. The community of Stoneridge is visibly thriving thanks to the provision of recycled water and biofertilizer that feeds the land.
Investing in environmental health benefits community health. MSF works alongside communities to better anticipate and prevent needs generated by climate-related disasters.
At the waste transfer station in Mbare, where MSF carried out training with local partner organisations and community members recyclable waste is weighed and exchanged for money.
In Harare, Zimbabwe, we launched an environmental health project to mitigate water scarcity and reduce the spread of water-borne diseases like cholera. Alongside residents, we developed a system to recycle food and water waste.
Precious Kapeka collects water from a well in Stoneridge. The community has benefited from MSF installing boreholes and a wastewater management system in Stoneridge to prevent bacterial contamination which used to occur as a result of underground septic tanks.
We have seen zero contamination of the groundwater… which means we are bending the curve of waterborne diseases.

Health Innovation
Beatrice Akongo, midwife with MSF is carrying a portable ultrasound for a consultation in the maternity ward. “The portable ultrasound is a game changer for our patients. It helps us to confirm diagnosis, for instance in the case of pregnant women presenting medical complications”.
The future of emergency medical care and innovation meet at the MSF Canada-hosted Transformation Investment Capacity (TIC).
MSF midwife Roseline K. Sammy examines a pregnant woman in MSF’s hospital in Old Fangak town, South Sudan, Jonglei State. MSF’s hospital in Old Fangak town is the only place in the region where people can receive treatment for serious conditions. Patients from remote villages often walk from several hours to several days to access medical care.
The TIC invests funds, intellectual capital and human resources to improve our ability to deliver emergency medical care both now and in the future.
