MSF is the world's largest non-governmental medical emergency organization with over 2,000 international health professionals and 15,000 national staff working with populations in danger in 83 countries. For twenty-six years Médecins Sans Frontières has been assisting populations in danger all over the world in periods of crisis, when a situation is no longer held in balance and the very survival of a population is possibly threatened. Our work traditionally focuses on rapid interventions in situations of conflicts, natural disasters, refugee camps and has one fundamental objective: improve people's health.

For the first time and for more than one year now, a team of 10 committed international health professionals and 20 national staff from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has been working full time in the Aral Sea Area, implementing a health program addressing the major causes of morbidity and mortality. In two of the most affected districts of Muynak and Kungrad, MSF is implementing a health program in close cooperation with the Ministry of Health, focusing on the surveillance and control of tuberculosis, anemia, diarrheal diseases and acute respiratory infections and on epidemiological skills development.
