Though the security situation in Hangu, Pakistan remains tense, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) continues to work inside the Hangu Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) hospital, where it has been since May 2010.
In 2011, MSF provided medical care to more than 20,088 patients in the emergency room and conducted 955 emergency surgeries in the hospital’s operating theater. Throughout 2011, the MSF medical team also referred more than 452 patients to Peshawar for specialized surgical and medical care. From July to October—the rainy season—MSF treated 1,526 patients with acute watery diarrhea. In light of the area’s ongoing medical needs, MSF will continue to provide free emergency medical care in 2012.
