Podcast: The struggle for basic care in North Ki...
Paul Brockmann, MSF project coordinator in Mweso, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo, describes the difficulties Congolese people face in getting even the most basic health care. People living in this area of eastern DRC have to contend with ongoing insecurity and outbreaks of violence that push them out of their homes. They suffer from preventable diseases like cholera, measles and malaria. They are often unable to access medical care. Which is why MSF has been working there for 30 years.

MSF Podcast: Doctor returns to Somaliland
Doctor Sohur Mire has only worked for MSF in Somaliland for two weeks. But it’s not the first time she has witnessed the impact of war and malnutrition in this area: she grew up here before fleeing with her family in 1991, nine months after the outbreak of war. After 20 years away from Somaliland – first in Sweden and then in the UK – Sohur has returned to help people still caught up in the violence and insecurity that forced her family out.
