A bicycle is an essential tool in providing healthcare to people living in hard-to-reach areas where MSF teams work. In some places, rainy season can make roads impassable to cars for months at a time.  Bicycles provide vital transportation for health promotion activities and for setting up mobile clinics. MSF community health workers also use bikes to visit patients to ensure they’re taking their medication properly and to check on the progress of patients who are homebound. This gift helps remove physical barriers to healthcare and helps to ensure people in remote areas can still receive the medical care they need.
