The direct impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are devastating. Perhaps even more catastrophic are the indirect impacts of the pandemic, especially in countries with already weak or overburdened health systems. Faced with unprecedented challenges, from shortages of essential medical supplies to travel bans restricting the movements of our staff, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams around the world are racing to adapt to the new realities and finding ways to keep essential medical services up and running. We’re doing all this while responding to the coronavirus emergency itself in more than 70 countries.

ONLINE DISCUSSION SERIES

Continues
Thursday, June 11

1:00 PM EDT

Join us this Thursday, June 11, for the next episode of our Let’s talk COVID-19 series with MSF-USA executive director Avril Benoît to discuss how humanitarian aid workers are finding creative solutions to get help where it’s needed most.

Joining Avril will be Kate White, medical technical lead for MSF’s COVID-19 pandemic response, and George Mapiye, deputy project coordinator for MSF’s project in Eshowe, South Africa, where teams are maintaining lifesaving HIV and TB services even as they confront the new threats presented by the coronavirus. Kate and George will answer your questions about the challenges our teams are facing and how they're finding new ways of working to keep essential health services available and accessible for our patients.
