The country’s health system is one of the weakest in Africa, with only one medical doctor per 10,000 inhabitants, and a lack of medical infrastructure.
Epilepsy and mental health are stigmatised and little-diagnosed in Côte d'Ivoire. MSF teams work in Gbêkê region, in the country’s centre, to improve access to mental healthcare, and diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, at clinics.
In Abidjan, our teams screen and treat people at the community level for malaria. We also work to provide consultations via telemedicine – the practice of providing medical consultations via communication technologies – to improve patients' access to healthcare.
