Panoramica:
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) translates to Doctors without Borders, was founded in 1971 in Paris by a group of journalists and doctors.
We provide medical assistance to people affected by conflict, epidemics, disasters, or exclusion from healthcare. Our teams are made up of tens of thousands of health professionals, logistic and administrative staff - bound together by our charter. Our actions are guided by medical ethics and the principles of impartiality, independence and neutrality. We are a non-profit, self-governed, member-based organisation.
In 2020 MSF OCB has handed over the responsibility for the implementation of their Operations in Italy to MSF Italy, with the mandate to focus on Migration issues.
People On the Move project is based in Agrigento and focuses on providing first medical line service at landings and PHC through mobile clinic. Our target population are mainly transit people. Together with these interventions, the project has the objective to monitor/assess medical needs above all Italian territory with the objective to identify situation on needs, providing timely medical intervention.
The MSF team in Agrigento intervenes with the mobile clinic in the province's CASs and communities for unaccompanied minors, to provide Primary Healh Care and Mental Health activities. The project will also operate in the same way at the landings in Porto Empedocle and in informal settlements with seasonal workers. Following the formalisation of an MOU with the Ministry of Health, the team will also be operational in a joint MSF-MOH MH ambulatory.
