Abstract

Authors describe findings from the first 3 large outbreaks of methanol poisoning where Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) responded. They evaluate the benefits of a possible future collaboration between local health authorities, a Non-Governmental Organisation and international expertise. This research was supported by the UK Department for International Development’s Operational Research Capacity Building Programme led by the International Union Against TB and Lung Disease (The Union)
