Situated in the Lake Chad region, the site of Koulkimé in Chad hosts approximately 1,800 displaced people (according to OCHA). They have fled Islamic State's West Africa Province (ISWAP), also known as Boko Haram, as well as military operations carried out by the Chadian government. MSF is working together with the Chadian Ministry of Health to support the primary health centre in Koulkimé.
