“MSF provided care for 333,900 people living with HIV/AIDS and antiretroviral treatment for 240,100 people in 2015.” With the lack of appropriate medical educations, many people do not know they have infected with HIV. [MSF international_activity_report_2015_en_2nd_ed.pdf]
3. Close of Programs
“When a violent situation has stabilized sufficiently, and access to health services improves, MSF will close its program.”
“When local or national authorities and organizations have the capacity and motivation to restore and develop a medical system that meets the urgent needs of the population, MSF will withdraw.”
“MSF will close a program when a medical emergency ends.”
