Before launching any activities in a new area, our teams carry out independent assessments to evaluate the medical needs and decide on the appropriate support. We consider several factors, including the scale of the crisis, the extent of illness and death in the community, the degree of exclusion from healthcare, and the unique contributions we can make. We continually review the relevance, effectiveness, and impact of our presence, ensuring that we complement, rather than duplicate, the efforts of other organizations operating in the region.
