As of September 14, Honduras had reported 67,789 cases of COVID-19, with approximately 27 percent of these in the capital, Tegucigalpa. This concentration of cases in Tegucigalpa has caused the city’s hospital system to collapse at times during the pandemic.
"The added value of MSF in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic is the medical care we give and our experience in managing emergencies," says Jose Antonio Silva, MSF project coordinator for Tegucigalpa. "For this reason we have been able to adapt to the context of the city.”
