The non-medical personnel deserve as much credit as anyone for the medical care provided here. Many people don’t realize how many non-medical people it takes to do what MSF does.
An MSF staff member takes a break to play with children during MSF’s emergency response to a raging measles epidemic in remote Maniema Province, Democratic Republic of Congo. Staff used canoes, motorcycles, and cars to reach the affected population at 12 sites. By May 20, 2011 MSF had treated more than 2,000 patients; 250 required hospitalization.
