HEALTHCARE ACCESS FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS
CONTEXT
and challenges
Fondation Pierre Fabre is committed to promoting healthcare access for vulnerable populations at times of emergency and during humanitarian crises. It provides this operational support as closely as possible to where healthcare is needed, and helps its local partners in their work with victims of conflict and displaced population groups. In 2020, the Foundation intensified its support for Lebanon, where 20% of the population today are Syrian refugees1, 80% of whom are women and children2.
In Africa, the holistic care model for victims of sexual and gender-based violence originally developed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been introduced in the Central African Republic, a country currently in the grip of a particularly violent political and security crisis.
