Caritas and the Italian NGO COOPI support the hospital and UNICEF provided refrigerators for vaccination campaigns. The health structure offers medical care to thousands of impoverished and displaced households at a minimum price.

An estimated 5,000 people live in the camp, which receives safe water, medical and other basic services through the international NGO Save the Children, a UNICEF partner. The NGO also runs ‘Let Maman’ (Mother’s Milk), a support group that provides daily breast-feeding and nutrition counseling for mothers.
