Côte d'Ivoire
In 2024, Médecins Sans Frontières ran projects in Côte d’Ivoire to assist refugees from Burkina Faso, and to improve care for people living with epilepsy and mental health conditions.
Our activities in 2024 —
outpatient consultations
malaria cases treated
individual mental health consultations
In 2024, our teams in northern Côte d’Ivoire responded to the needs of refugees from neighbouring Burkina Faso, who have been driven from their homes by recurrent violence.
Some refugees are hosted by local families, but many are living in precarious conditions, with little access to basic services, including healthcare.
We supported both refugees and host communities by offering general healthcare, including reproductive health services, particularly in Ouangolodougou and Téhini districts.
Working with the Ministry of Health, MSF supported routine vaccination, as well as a preventive measles vaccination campaign, among refugees and host communities in Ouangolodougou.
We also continued our regular activities in collaboration with our local partners and the health authorities.
In Bouaké, we run a project for people living with mental health conditions and epilepsy across three districts.
In Agboville district, we provide specialised care — including cardiology, gynaecology, obstetrics and paediatrics — through telemedicine services in 11 health facilities.
