One year after the start of the emergency response to help refugees from the Central African Republic to the east of Cameroon, the work of MSF continues. These refugees remain vulnerable with many suffering from psychological trauma. In Batouri and Garoua-Boulaï, conventional medical treatment for child malnutrition is being offered in conjunction with psychosocial support. This multi-disciplinary approach, which includes mental health activities for malnourished children and their families, promotes the recovery of the young patients.
