Medische zorg, Voeding & Psychosociale zorg
Medische zorg, voeding en psychosociale ondersteuning zijn belangrijke sectoren voor ons en onze medische staf is van cruciaal belang voor onze landenprogramma's wereldwijd. Ze werken onder uitdagende omstandigheden. Hun taak is om zoveel mogelijk levens te redden in noodsituaties en het risico op ziekten en aandoeningen in de nasleep van rampen te verminderen. Verder pakken ze trauma's en misbruik tijdens conflicten aan en versterken lokale medische voorzieningen. Daardoor helpen we de bevolking ook lang nadat we zijn vertrokken.
