Ivory Coast

In 2024, our teams in northern Ivory Coast responded to the needs of refugees from neighboring 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 health care.

We supported both refugees and host communities by offering general health care, 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 specialized care—including cardiology, gynecology, obstetrics, and pediatrics—through telemedicine services in 11 health facilities.
