MSF collaborated with the Ministry of Health in nine health facilities in Conakry in supporting HIV testing and treatment, with a focus on prevention of mother-to-child transmission and pediatric HIV care, as well as treatment for opportunistic infections. In 2024, we increased our services for victims and survivors of sexual violence, including access to safe abortion care. In addition, we manage a 31-bed facility at Donka hospital for people with severe complications of HIV.
In Siguiri, in northern Guinea, MSF teams were involved in an emergency response to a diphtheria outbreak that started in August 2023. We supported treatment, referrals, and community awareness-raising campaigns until May 2024, which led to a reduction in deaths linked to the epidemic.
Training is another important component of our project: we have trained over 300 medical staff in HIV care.
