MSF Live from Mexico City: A virtual project visit | |
|
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) invites you for a virtual tour of our medical and mental health projects in Mexico City on Tuesday, June 17, at 12:00 p.m. ET.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of people risk their lives on the treacherous journey north through the Americas in hopes of reaching the southern US border. Along the way they are frequently exposed to extreme violence, extortion, and kidnapping. | | |
|
And increasingly restrictive US immigration policies have left many vulnerable people stranded in dangerous Mexican border cities without access to essential services, including health care.
Since 2017, MSF has been providing specialized multidisciplinary care to people who have experienced torture or extreme violence at our Comprehensive Care Center (CAI) in Mexico City. Many of the patients at this facility are migrants or asylum seekers who have experienced violence on their journeys. At the CAI, doctors, psychologists, social workers, and physical and occupational therapists help these people heal from trauma and connect them with the resources they need to adapt to their new lives in Mexico.
On this virtual tour of the CAI, you will meet Joaquim Guinart Verdaguer, MSF project coordinator, Mercedes Alarcón, medical doctor, Cassandra Melendez, community health promoter, and Isaac Torres, psychologist. The event will be moderated by Avril Benoît, MSF USA’s chief executive officer.
Join us to learn more about MSF's work and how teams are responding to growing challenges at Mexico's northern border. | |
