“We’re delighted to be able to launch this new site,” says MSF Head of Mission in Somalia Monica Camacho. “As an emergency medical organisation MSF’s operations are continuously adapting and changing so that we can respond to the greatest needs. This site highlights the wide range of MSF’s work and provides regularly updated information for anyone who is interested in knowing more.”
