Dear Friend,
When two-year-old Rosa was admitted to Cuvango Municipal Hospital in southwestern Angola, she was severely malnourished and covered with painful blisters. She could not walk. She was immediately enrolled in Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)’s inpatient malnutrition program.
People in Angola have endured years of severe drought and soaring food prices, which have contributed to high rates of malnutrition and malaria. The combination of these two health threats can be deadly—especially for children under five—if not treated quickly. Unfortunately, people living in the remote areas of Huíla and Benguela provinces lack access to health care—with some MSF patients reporting walking hours in order to reach the nearest medical facility.
Rosa’s story is all too common in southwestern Angola. Your steady, enduring support can help our teams remain on the ground in Angola and more than 70 other countries to meet urgent needs while also staying prepared to adapt and scale up operations as necessary in the face of emergent crises.
This email was sent from the U.S. section of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), an international independent medical humanitarian organization that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural and man-made disasters, and exclusion from health care.
