Cameroon

Created in 1961 by the unification of a British and a French colony, and home to nearly 24 million people, Cameroon is often referred to as “Africa in miniature” because of its geographical and cultural diversity. However, the central African country has struggled to find peace and unity.

In 2023, Médecins Sans Frontières / Doctors Without Borders (MSF) responded to healthcare emergencies such as disease outbreaks, violence and malnutrition.

In the Far North region, where the security situation has continued to be volatile, we support healthcare centres and provide medical supplies. Here, we have also scaled up to treat a spike in malaria cases driven by seasonal rains.
