Doctors Without Borders - Efforts in the Central African Republic

Homeopathic practitioner Karolina Dziunikowska cares for patients of all ages in Toronto, Canada. In addition to her work treating patients with natural homeopathic remedies, Karolina Dziunikowska supports Doctors Without Borders. Responding to humanitarian and medical crises throughout the world, Doctors Without Borders , an international nonprofit organization, focuses on controlling disease outbreaks and malnutrition in regions where access to health care is limited. Doctors Without Borders is currently focusing efforts on the Central African Republic, where political conflict brought widespread violence in 2013. These conditions have prevented many people from accessing health care.  More than 70 percent of area health facilities have been damaged or destroyed, and both medical personnel and supplies are scarce. Efforts in the region are centered on maternal care, malaria, HIV, and malnutrition. Doctors Without Borders operates 17 facilities across the Central African Republic.
