D.R. Congo
Since 1998, devastating civil and regional wars in D.R. Congo have killed 5.4 million people, many of them from war-related hunger and disease.
Medair has been active in the country since before the conflict began in 1996. Our main goal is to help improve the health status of the population, supporting over 500 health structures in remote and vulnerable areas of northeast Congo. We also rehabilitate shelter and infrastructure and provide increased access to safe water and sanitation.
Medair’s staff currently consists of approximately 8 internationally recruited staff (IRS) and 110 nationally recruited staff (NRS).
