MSF MSF has been monitoring the refugee situation in Al Qaim since August Due to various reasons, the main one being visa constraints from October 2012 December 2012, an MSF team only moved to Al Qaim in January 2013 in order to support the Syrian refugees. Since this period until today MSF was able to manage the following objectives: Border post Clinic MSF began supporting the border clinic post since the end of January, with the presence of one female expatriate medical doctor. MSF was able to do 2 to 3 days consultations per week. Since February MSF presence has been increased with the arrival of the second MSF expatriate female doctor which lead to increased presence in the border clinic 5 days a week except for Mondays and Fridays. An average of 60 patients per day are seen and weekly epidemiological statistics are sent to Al Qaim PHC directorate. Mental Health Care As Mental Health care has been identified as a need of the refugee population and MSF has some expertise in this field, there has been a verbal agreement that MSF would also commence mental health services in Camp 1 & 2. Since the end of February, MSF have an expatriate psychologist in Al Qaim in order to establish the mental health activities within camp I and Camp II for the Syrian refugees. Among the Syrian population within camp I and camp II, it is hoped to identify 4 potential candidates who will be trained by MSF as counselors.
