Humanitarian action by Assistència Sanitària and MSF
The collaboration with the NGO has allowed medical material to be acquired to help in Ukraine, Nigeria and the Central African Republic
Aimed at supporting social activities and an extensive willingness to cooperate and participate in initiatives with a humanitarian outlook, Assistència Sanitària has recently signed an agreement with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). This organisation provides help and develops medical and humanitarian work in contexts of armed conflict, violence, epidemics or forgotten diseases and natural disasters, amongst others.
Assistència Sanitària is participating with a contribution of 200,000 euros to the Médecins Sans Frontières Emergency Fund, which will be used in different projects all over the world. The support given in Ukraine is the equivalent to the acquisition of all the medical material and medicines necessary to carry out 876 emergency surgical operations. In Nigeria, in outpatient mode, 1,315 children will be able to be treated from the area of Zamfara, who are suffering from several acute malnutrition: in 45 days they should recover their normal weight thanks to the treatment. Additionally, 39,370 children will be able to be vaccinated against measles in the Central African Republic, where they have been suffering from a very serious epidemic in recent years.
