MSF to end Kamrangirchar medical programme by March

Doctors Without Borders, or Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), is set to conclude its decade-long medical programme in Kamrangirchar by March 2025, transitioning services to local providers.

The handover follows the humanitarian organisation's reallocation of resources after a global review of humanitarian responses that began in 2023, according to a press release.

Since 2010, MSF has been delivering essential healthcare in Kamrangirchar, initially focusing on child malnutrition before expanding to address a range of critical health needs across different population groups.

"Over the last ten years, MSF's health programme in Kamrangirchar has provided medical services to over 77,000 people working in precarious jobs with limited rights and protections, including nearly 1,000 children under 14," said Christabel Mayienga, MSF medical team leader in Kamrangirchar.
