Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) - Peru
Unverified non-profit organisation
Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian aid organisation that provides emergency medical assistance to populations in danger in more than 80 countries. In one of their projects in Peru, MSF, together with the National Penitentiary Authority, developed a multidisciplinary program addressing sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/ AIDS within the prison. The goals were to improve the quality of medical care and treatment of STIs, provide care for people with HIV/AIDS, and to train and involve health professionals from disciplines such as psychology and education, who could then provide support to this vulnerable population.
