A new doctor has joined our team. 🩺🌸 We are honoured to announce that Tony Tony Chopper is supporting Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF). Wherever we go together, the principle remains the same: everyone deserves access to medical care, no matter who or where they are. Chopper is joining our teams to learn how humanitarian crises affect people worldwide—from responding to epidemics to providing trauma care during conflict.

🚨 Nigeria: On Monday, 16 March, three suicide attacks were reported in Maiduguri, Borno state, killing 23 people and injuring more than 100. We sent medical teams to support local authorities in treating the wounded at two hospitals in Maiduguri where 108 patients are being treated. “We arrived at night at the State Specialist hospital. The emergency room was full of patients with different kinds of trauma injuries. We helped stabilse them, dressed wounds, and referred the critical patients to the University of Maiduguri Teaching hospital, where we had another MSF medical team supporting the Ministry of Health with both triage and stabilisation of the injured,” says Dr Alain Kikwaya, MSF medical team leader in Maiduguri. The blasts, which began shortly after 7:00 pm, targeted several locations. The main gate of the Teaching hospital, where we support the diphtheria treatment unit, was targeted in one of the attacks. No patient or staff member in the unit was injured in the incident.

Food. Water. Shelter. After fleeing violence in Jonglei state, South Sudan, these are the things that displaced woman Nyamai says is needed in displacement sites around Chuil, or “without these, survival will not be possible”. We are urging humanitarian organisations to immediately scale up the response across central and northeastern South Sudan, especially in areas that are still cut-off from aid.
