Macedonia

During the conflict in Kosova thousands of people were displaced into the neighbouring country of Macedonia. As a response to this crisis a Sister was sent with CARE Australia to assist in providing the refugees with safety, food, shelter and basic services including medical services. The Sister responsibilities were to provide Mother and Child Health Centres in the Cegrane Camp. CARE Mother and Child Centres functioned as a distribution hub and health education and referral point. Mothers were provided with the necessary items to care for their children. Referrals were made to the medical services in the camp. Cegrane Camp serviced by the Norwegian Red Cross Field Hospital and Medecin San Frontiers (MSF). The Sister was in Macedonia from June to September 1999.
