Did you know one in five children don't live to see their fifth birthday in Mali. Acute malnutrition affects around 10 percent of children under the age of five. Malaria is still the leading cause of child mortality in the country In Konseguela. Doctors Without Borders seeks to improve healthcare across the world. Therefore, we created a project that incorporates a comprehensive health care program that intends to end child mortality in Konseguela.

Doctor for borders is the current world's leading independent international medical relief organization. This organization makes and manages medical projects in almost 70 countries.

Our work is centered towards emergency medical and humanitarian relief. We implement our medical programs in areas where no health or sanitary systems exist, or where the current infrastructures have been overwhelmed by health needs. In some countries, after immediate medical emergencies have passed, we adapt our programs to meet the long-term medical needs of the population.

For more than 40 years, we have been providing medical assistance to people who struggled by armed conflicts, natural disasters, disease epidemics, malnutrition crises and other emergencies.

The medical action comes in multiple forms:

Emergency healthcare, including surgery
Mass vaccination campaigns
Water and sanitation
