The COVID-19 pandemic is an unprecedented health crisis of global scale. Since early 2020, it has put tremendous strain on healthcare systems, disrupted economies, and halted large parts of social life in many countries around the world.
In a race against the fast spreading virus and rapidly increasing patient numbers, Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) scaled-up our global response from early January, committing substantial resources to both developing dedicated COVID-19 projects and maintaining essential healthcare in its existing programmes.
Since then, our teams have responded to the pandemic in countries all over the world. We have now released the first of a series of reports, Responding to COVID-19: Global accountability report 1, which covers our activities from March to May 2020.
