The long-running Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) programme in Honduras focuses on assisting victims of violence. In 2022, we also worked in migrant communities and responded to emergencies, including a dengue outbreak.
Our teams treat victims of violence, including sexual violence. We work with the Honduran Ministry of Health on our priority service project, offering emergency medical and psychological care to victims of sexual violence.
In Choloma, we provide family planning, ante- and postnatal consultations and mental healthcare through mobile clinics. In San Pedro Sula, we work to improve access to medical and psychological healthcare for LGBTIQ people and sex workers.
Since September 2021, we have refocused our activities in Tegucigalpa to assist migrants who cross Honduras on their journey to the U.S. We offer general and mental healthcare through two mobile clinics deployed at different points of the country.
Honduras has experienced years of political, economic and social instability, and has one of the highest rates of violence in the world. This has great medical, psychological and social consequences for people.
