The public healthcare system in Honduras cannot keep pace with victims of violence, leaving the most vulnerable people deprived of much-needed services. Aiming to improve access to emergency medical care, MSF continues to run a comprehensive programme offering quality treatment and follow-up to victims of violence in the capital city of Tegucigalpa. Teams worked to increase vulnerable people’s access to emergency healthcare for trauma, medical emergencies, sexual violence and mental healthcare for victims of violence.
