O ano em foco

Em 2019, aproximadamente 65 mil profissionais de Médicos Sem Fronteiras (MSF) prestaram assistência médica e humanitária a pessoas em mais de 70 países.

O surto de Ebola no nordeste da República Democrática do Congo (RDC) continuou se expandindo, junto com a pior epidemia de sarampo de todos os tempos. Enquanto isso, mais a leste, dois ciclones e inundações graves devastaram partes de Moçambique, Sudão e Sudão do Sul. Conflitos causaram sofrimento extremo em todo o Sahel e no Iêmen, e milhares de migrantes, refugiados e solicitantes de asilo permaneceram confinados na Líbia, na Grécia e no México, expostos à violência e doenças.

Dedicamos este panorama de atividades aos nossos doadores, cuja generosidade permitiu que nossos profissionais colocassem suas habilidades a serviço dos pacientes e das comunidades onde atuamos.
