To strengthen the response to paediatric TB in Pakistan, @MSF, in collaboration with the @nhsrcofficial & @WHOPakistan, launched a two-day roundtable consultation focused on aligning national policies with WHO-recommended simplified treatment algorithms and short-course regimens.

No child should die from a preventable and curable disease. The time to act is now.

[MSF Pakistan @MSF_Pakistan]

Globally, every three minutes, a child dies of tuberculosis (TB).

TB is preventable and treatable, yet too many children continue to suffer in silence.

Tomorrow, @MSF will join the National TB Program, WHO, and partners to discuss how to strengthen efforts against childhood TB.

[MSF Pakistan @MSF_Pakistan]

Of the estimated total TB cases and deaths that occur in Pakistan children account for 11% and 20% respectively. The disproportion of cases and deaths in children highlights the immediate action needed for this vulnerable group.

Nurses are the cornerstone of healthcare around the world and are fundamental to @MSF's medical-humanitarian action.

This #InternationalNursesDay 2026, we honour their compassion in connecting people to care.

“We don’t trust this ceasefire, it took all the hope that we had.”

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected tropical disease and a public health burden in Pakistan.

In 2025, @MSF continued its CL programs at five sites across Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and expanded services to Dogra Hospital, Bara, Khyber.

On 3 May 2016, 10 years ago, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted Resolution 2286. Over 80 Member States committed to protect medical care.

Today, medical staff, facilities and patients continue to face attacks during war and conflict:

In Lankien, South Sudan, 250,000 people have been left without advanced, lifesaving medical care after government forces bombed our hospital in February, forcing its permanent closure.

Tuberculosis continues to kill more than 1 million people each year.

A safe, effective, and affordable vaccine to protect adolescents and adults against #tuberculosis would be a significant step towards reducing global mortality due to TB.

[MSF International @MSF]

We asked @MSF_IP for 3 words to describe 3 years of war in Sudan. His answer: catastrophe, atrocities, impunity.

These words are the daily reality of people and communities in Sudan — and this continues because of political failure. #TalkAboutSudan

Afghan refugees and host communities in Quetta, the capital of Balochistan, faced heightened winter health risks.

Deportation, poverty, and restricted movement pushed refugee families into unsafe and dire living conditions, reducing their access to essential care.

[MSF Pakistan @MSF_Pakistan]

MSF supported Afghan refugees and host communities in Quetta this winter through mobile clinics, referrals to specialized care, health promotion and distribution of essential items, helping families cope with the harsh winter.

Before the diagnosis, Hareem and Ahmad were often unwell. They had poor appetite, abdominal pain, irritability, and were becoming weak. Their mother had taken them to a nearby clinic where they were given medicines without proper diagnosis, but their condition did not improve.

Lebanon - Around 2pm Sunday, Israeli forces struck a densely populated residential area in Beirut, only meters from Rafik Hariri Public Hospital, where MSF is supporting with an ER doctor.
A mass-casualty influx followed: people bleeding, some carried on shoulders. In the first hour, 4 were killed and nearly 40 injured; more casualties are feared as rubble is cleared.
“We are seeing elderly people and adolescents arriving with critical injuries to the head, chest and abdomen, including shrapnel wounds,” says Dr. Luna Hammad, MSF Medical Coordinator, from the ER at Rafik Hariri Public Hospital. “When strikes hit crowded residential areas without warning, the consequences are severe: both in human casualties and in hospitals’ capacity to respond.”
MSF condemns this attack on civilians in a highly populated area and calls for the protection of civilians and health facilities. Strikes this close to a hospital spread fear and can stop people from seeking lifesaving care. MSF is donating a mass-casualty kit and will continue supporting hospitals with medical expertise and essential medical and non-medical supplies. Civilians cannot be collateral damage.
