Médecins Sans Frontières has launched an expanded healthcare support programme in the East and West Wollega zones of Ethiopia’s Oromia region, according to a report published by Addis Standard and distributed through AllAfrica on August 20, 2026.

The programme is intended to support both primary and secondary healthcare services. The report said communities in the two zones face significant unmet health needs linked to conflict, displacement, disease outbreaks and damage to health infrastructure.

MSF, also known as Doctors Without Borders, is seeking through the programme to restore access to essential services in affected areas. The available source record did not provide a timetable, budget or facility-level breakdown for the intervention.
