Sierra Leone
International staff: 92 MSF first worked in Sierra Leone in 1986 Ensuring quality primary and secondary care at health centers and hospitals is the cornerstone of MSF's work in Sierra Leone, a country just emerging from a brutal civil war. Yet, even as reconstruction and repatriation gather pace, MSF is concerned that many Sierra Leonean refugees and displaced are being "encouraged" to go home without suf. cient assistance. Over the past year, violence in West Africa has also pushed thousands of Liberian refugees into the country, straining the already damaged health system. In many areas, MSF provides care for both local residents and refugees in nearby camps.
