Even as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams are responding to many other underreported emergencies around the world. People in Burkina Faso are currently caught in the grips of the world’s fastest-growing humanitarian crisis. Escalating violence by armed groups has forced more than one million people from their homes. Many now live in makeshift shelters in remote areas and lack access to basic services. During this rainy season, we are seeing rising rates of malaria and malnutrition. 

The urgent needs right now include clean water, food, shelter, medical, and mental health care. Many people have been victims of violence or have lost loved ones, and are deeply distressed about their living conditions. MSF provides a range of medical and humanitarian assistance to displaced people and host communities affected by this complex emergency—with services including primary and secondary health care, vaccination campaigns, water and sanitation services, pediatric and maternal care, and psychological counseling.

Join us on Thursday, October 29, for the next episode of our Let’s Talk webcast series. We’ll be in conversation with Dr. Marc Ounténi Couldiaty, medical coordinator for MSF in Burkina Faso, and Tommaso Santo, head of mission for MSF in Burkina Faso. Together with our host, MSF-USA executive director Avril Benoît, this expert panel will answer your questions about the forgotten crisis in Burkina Faso. 

Once you register, you'll receive an email confirmation with a Zoom link to attend online. You will also have the option to dial in by phone.
