Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare. MSF offers assistance to people based on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation...
Location: Abakaliki, Ebonyi
Operational Context
Nigeria's democracy has recently appeared to be more fragile and susceptible to disintegration than at any time since the restoration of civilian rule in 1999. The nation is contending with an array of social and political conflicts that at worst threaten its unity and continuing existence; and at best threatens its stability and economic future.
In addition to these conflicts the country also suffers from multiple endemic diseases, of which Lassa fever is one of the most serious. The recent exceptional resurgence of Lassa fever in the south-east of Nigeria has led to the primary intervening hospitals (in Lassa fever care) being overwhelmed.
The current outbreak of Lassa fever seems not only bigger than previous Lassa fever outbreaks, but it seems that more secondary cases (or at least more clusters of cases) occur.
The MSF Lassa project in Nigeria is located in Abakaliki, Ebonyi state (south-east Nigeria) and focuses on Lassa fever management, prevention, research and training.
The project will be run in close conjunction with the Ministry of Health at the Federal Teaching Hospital of Abakaliki (FETHA).
