Dzaleka Refugee Medical Assistance
Many forcibly displaced people have difficulty accessing basic medical care. Their escape from war zones and persecution in their countries of origin are filled with danger. They are often exposed to disease, malnutrition, exposure, contaminated water as well as to prolonged stress and uncertainty. Extended stays in refugee camps, slum communities, tent cities and other holding areas often compound existing health problems and injuries. While host governments and local, national and international agencies do what they can to help, critical gaps often remain.

The Strategy
IAFR partners with trusted local, national and international agencies to provide strategic medical assistance to communities of forcibly displaced people as this fund enables.
The Progress
Since starting this project in 2020, we have sent five shipments filled with badly needed pharmaceuticals to the health clinic in Dzaleka refugee camp. 60,000 patients have directly benefited from these medicines.
