We closed our last projects in Azerbaijan in 2023.

MSF first worked in Azerbaijan in 1989 and today we run a mental health care support project for people in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh.

We also provided emergency relief and food distributions, and medical care to people fleeing the region’s war during the 1990s, and later, treated people with tuberculosis.

During the 1990s, our teams rehabilitated public health structures in the country. We also provided an immunisation programme and worked on preventing sexually-transmitted diseases in clinics in the Imishli, Saatli and Fizuli regions, in the country’s southwest, until January 2001. We provided free basic healthcare in clinics just outside Sumgayit, on the Caspian Sea coast, in the early 2000s, before regional health programmes were handed over to other organisations.
