Friend,
Every day, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams work in more than 70 countries around the world to provide critical medical care to not only prevent, but to fight cancer and other deadly diseases.
In Ukraine, where war has disrupted essential services across the Kharkiv region, MSF mobile clinics are providing gynecological cancer treatment to elderly women—many of whom have gone undiagnosed for months.
In Mali, escalating violence has isolated communities and is restricting people’s access to critical health care. Despite it being difficult for MSF to operate, our remaining staff is working under dangerous conditions to provide a wide range of services, including disease prevention and cancer screening and treatment.
In Malawi—where treatment options are limited—MSF has been treating cervical cancer patients and improving access to vaccination, screening, early diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care for women. Our teams have been using a combination of chemotherapy and surgery to save lives in the absence of radiation therapy, which is not currently available in Malawi.
People living with life-threatening diseases like cancer rely on MSF for care year-round. They count on our doctors to show up to help save lives. |
