Nursing homes and their ghosts: MSF's experience in France during the Covid-19 health crisis

03/24/2021 Caroline Izambert

This article was published in Mouvements magazine on March 24, 2021. In the early spring of 2020, the humanitarian organization Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) launched a mission in nursing homes in the Ile-de-France region, which had been hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic.
