Once part of the former Soviet Union, Armenia now struggles to provide basic healthcare to its people. Tuberculosis (TB) seems to be spreading but a full assessment is difficult due to a lack of information on infection rates. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS, are also a problem, partly due to the stigma they carry in the country. › more on Armenia » MSF's drug-resistant TB program in Yerevan, Armenia › Slideshow › July 2008

Thousands of migrants continue to arrive in Italy, crossing the Mediterranean Sea by boat, risking their lives to reach Europe. Many people arrive with medical conditions related to their difficult journey, such as dehydration, skin infections caused by overexposure to the sun and salt, burns from petrol used in rubber dinghies and respiratory infections. › more on Italy » Médecins

Tuberculosis (TB) is a major problem for Kyrgyzstan's crippled healthcare system. It has one of the world’s largest prison population rates and TB infection in these prisons can be up to 25 times higher than in the civilian sector. Alarmingly, drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB), which is very difficult and expensive to treat, is spreading rapidly. Diagnosis and proper seperation is very difficult in prisons and overcrowded cells and poor lighting, air and rations help the disease spread.› more on Kyrgyzstan » Struggling to control tuberculosis in Kyrgyzstan’s prisons › Feature › 7 May 2007
Following its claim for independence from Russia twelve years ago, two successive wars have brought the Chechen Republic not only physical destruction, but deep mental trauma among its people. Despite formal restoration of power and official reports about the stabilisation of the situation, security is precarious and violent upsurges occur in Chechnya and the neighbouring republics of the Russian North Caucasus. Many needs of the population, including medical care, remain unmet. Psychosocial counselling is an important part of most of our activities in Chechnya.› more on the Russian Federation » MSF Releases 10th Annual “Top Ten” Most Underreported Humanitarian Stories of 2007 › Press Release › 20/12/07 » Nicolette Jackson :: Revolutions do not stop epidemics › Letter › March 2005
