            Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), Mizoram Project started as a basic emergency service to the Displaced Population (DP) of Myanmar in June 2022. By time the services of DWBI have grown into a more structured project from Jan 2023. The refuge settlement is prominently in Champhai, Lawngtlai, and Siaha districts. MSF is supporting local communities as well as those who have been temporarily displaced to Mizoram state in India following the conflict in Myanmar. These districts where MSF works in Mizoram state are amongst the most impoverished in North-eastern India. Water, health care, and sanitation needs are quite high, and infrastructure was already weak for the host population before the influx of thousands of displaced people into the villages.

            MSF aims to provide free and quality medical and mental health care to the area's communities while responding to any medical-humanitarian emergency that may occur in Mizoram State. Activities include mobile medical clinics, mental health support, water and sanitation support, and distributions of non-food items such as kitchen utensils and blankets.
