Not authorised to operate directly in Turkey since June 2016, MSF provides financial and technical support to local NGOs working with Syrian refugees. MSF also gives remote support to medical staff in Syria.
MSF supported organisations in three locations; in Istanbul, and in Sanliurfa and Kilis on the Turkey-Syria border. The projects supported by MSF range from providing primary healthcare, to counselling sessions and child vaccination campaigns, and focus on caring for refugee communities.
