MSF calls for an end to violence against patients, civilians and medical staff working in health care facilities in Bangui and throughout the country. The wave of violence that began in Bangui on December 5 also affects health care facilities in the capital of the Central African Republic.

MSF is extending activities to continue to treat wounded and provide health services to around 14,000 displaced people in two of the main sites for displaced in the city. Over the past two days MSF teams have treated 190 wounded in the Hospital Communataire of Bangui.
12-5 | Since early this morning there have been violent clashes, shooting and explosions in a number of areas of Bangui, capital of the Central African Republic (CAR). Armed groups have launched an offensive on the city. The ex-Seleka forces have retaliated.
12-3 | “I was the only midwife on the day Sedra’s* mother came to MSF’s hospital in Syria,” says Amanda GODBALLE, a Danish midwife for MSF. “She was only six months pregnant, but the delivery had already begun. She was expecting her first children – two twin girls. There was no way to stop the delivery as it was already too far along. In our hospital we had very limited possibilities of taking care of premature babies. We had no pediatricians, incubators, or medicine to treat babies this premature.
