\u201cWe focused on social problems affecting the residents of Bangassou city where we operate, especially healthcare to give consultations and medication. The health and wellbeing of the people falls within our protection of civilians mandate,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Medical treatment focused mainly on malaria, skin disorder, gastrointestinal diseases, and screening for non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.<\/p>\n
