More information:

Since January 2014, MSF has been working in Mamadou M'Baiki health center - located in the PK5 district in Bangui - where we offer primary health care to children under 15. During the annual malaria peak, Mamadou M'Baiki health center can receive up to 800 children a week. In 2014, on our various projects in the PK5 area (health center + mobile clinics at the Grand Mosque and Kpéténé area) we have provided almost 40, 000 consultations (29% for malaria cases. In CAR, health situation is catastrophic, indicators particularly degraded: malaria (first cause of morbidity and mortality) is endemic, every child under 5 years has an average of two attacks per year. Vaccination coverage is very low. The country has the highest prevalence of HIV-AIDS among the countries of Central Africa (between 5 and 10% depending on the area). The health system offers limited and expensive access to care, skilled medical human resources are lacking, drug supply problems are recurrent. In this country without State, MSF operations substitute those of the MOH
