Our clinics remain strategically located, serving not only as medical care points but also as safe spaces where people can rest, access showers and toilets, and use the internet to contact their families.
Health promoters are key members of our teams in both projects. Their work is crucial in understanding people’s needs and connecting them to the right services—for example, identifying cases of sexual violence and ensuring victims and survivors receive the necessary medical care and emotional support. They also guide people on where to find assistance and how to access MSF clinics along their journey.
Mental health teams and health promoters run both group and individual sessions where they identify people with prior diagnoses of non-communicable diseases or psychiatric conditions and refer them for treatment. Our team in Danlí, Honduras, also refers patients with these conditions to our nearest project in Esquipulas.
In addition to these activities, we provide staff training at both locations to support partner organizations and the Ministry of Health—for example, training health center staff to identify psychological disorders.
