VSF works in collaboration with Government agencies, Institutions and the civil society to drive the actualization of its mandate through advocacy, resource mobilization, capacity building and monitoring of the outcomes of its interventions.
Since inception, VSF identified 16 hospitals for the delivery of free medical treatment to victims, and has provided support for acquisition of medical equipment and consumables to enhance adequate coverage for the teeming population of victims requiring treatment.
