MSF works across Mali to assist the most vulnerable people. We are responding to the growing crisis in the central region, providing healthcare to nomadic communities in the north and caring for cancer patients in Bamako, the capital.
We also support nutrition and paediatric services in the southern Koutiala district.

Headlines about Mali often focus on conflict and security concerns. But these stories obscure the reality for people living through a six-year long crisis.
With 130,000 refugees already in neighbouring countries, more than one million people inside Mali are now in urgent need of health assistance.
This short video animation explains why.
