In this Month's episode:

Liberia
Ebola has killed more than 5,000 people in West Africa. More than half of those deaths have been in Liberia. The situation is making it very hard for people to find basic health care.

South Sudan
MSF facilities in the west of South Sudan have treated 60,000 patients for malaria since the beginning of 2014. This is three times more than during the same period last year.

Mexico
43,000 people in Oaxaca State are provided with access to diagnosis and treatment for Chagas disease. A parasitic disease rife throughout Latin America, Chagas is deadly if left untreated.

Mali
In 2009, MSF opened a paediatric care programme in Koutiala in the east of Mali. There can be as many as 400 children in the unit during the peak malaria season. 

Papua New Guinea
TB is a critical public health issue in this Pacific island
Gulf province is one of the worst affected areas, with some pockets of very high prevalence

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare.
