The mobile clinics — which consist of doctors, nurses, psychologists, and health educators from both MSF and OHF — regularly visit two locations in the city of Aswan and the surrounding villages of Daraw, Karkar, and Nasr Al-Nuba, where communities struggle to access the care they need.

Responding to the health needs of refugees and host communities
Our work in Egypt
In Egypt, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides health care to Sudanese refugees and host communities through mobile clinics across Aswan governorate.
How we're helping in Egypt
In January 2025, MSF started running regular mobile clinics across five locations in Aswan governorate, working in partnership with the Om Habibeh Foundation (OHF), an Egyptian NGO with a long history in the governorate.
These mobile clinics help facilitate access to health care for communities in the area, both Egyptian and Sudanese, and reduce pressure on existing health facilities. MSF teams focus on offering general consultations and mental health support, as well as referrals to other health facilities for additional medical care.
