Access to health care : Swabi and Buner districts - Pakistan

In response to the military operations in Swat valley during the first half of 2009, Médecins du Monde initiated a programme to support the displaced population from Swat Valley, Northern Buner and their host population in Swabi and Buner districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. The programme consisted of providing primary and maternal health care including nutritional and immunization components. The programme has been able to reach over 77 400 patients up until today. As part of the Médecins du Monde’s operational and exit strategy, a survey on the access to health care has been conducted throughout July and August 2010 in order to identify the access to health issues one year after the crisis.
