Abstract
To highlight the neglected healthcare of women and babies during and after humanitarian crises.
I discuss the challenges faced by both women and babies accessing healthcare in conflict zones and after natural disasters, as the theme is displacement. I also discuss the challenges faced by staff.
The presentation highlights the work of MSF, Medecins sans Frontieres/Doctors without Borders in the Democratic Republic of Congo (2015), South Sudan (2016 and 2017) and Haiti (2016) and their efforts to provide safe, effective, free and quality healthcare and also where we need to improve going forward in 2017 and beyond.
