The coordination office is in Maiduguri and there are 2 field offices in both Maiduguri City and Damboa and 1 liaison office in Abuja. The interventions cater for for IDPs and host populations who seek services in fixed PHC clinics directly run by MdM across 3 different project sites (Garba Buzu, Kawarmaila and El Meskin). Also, MdM is supporting 2 state-run MoH health posts in 2 other locations of the State.
