Continued armed conflict and insecurity have uprooted more than three million people in different parts of Nigeria. People’s lives in Nigeria have been disrupted by violence and crime, while regular disease outbreaks continue to endanger the lives of thousands of children.
In Nigeria, we assist people affected by violence and displacement, and respond to multiple health issues, such as severe malnutrition and recurrent disease outbreaks.
MSF has been responding to disease outbreaks and emergency health needs in Nigeria for many years, focusing on maternal and paediatric healthcare throughout the country. Since mid-2021, we have scaled up our nutritional activities in the Northwest, as a growing yet largely ignored malnutrition crisis is pushing people to the limits.
