Health Promoter

From a mobile app campaign to get victims of sexual violence to access care in our hospitals, through to community meetings to explain the importance of handwashing in refugee camps, health promotion activities are a direct link to the community outside the walls of the hospital, and vital to ensure that MSF projects are accessible and relevant to the communities they provide for.
