In 2016, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) renewed its operations in Angola after an absence of nine years, supporting local authorities after an outbreak of yellow fever affected the country.
We consolidated our operations in 2017 and 2018, supporting the health authorities to respond to emergencies - from the water, sanitation and healthcare needs of more than 30,000 people who had fled conflict in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo to tackling outbreaks of cholera and malaria.
In 2022, we returned to Angola to improve paediatric care for malnutrition and malaria and prepare for the possible consequences of drought on people’s health.
In August 2023, we closed our projects in Angola and handed over all medical activities to the Angolan Ministry of Health.
