Insecurity Insight monitors attacks on health care in the Central African Republic (CAR), and based on its data, the CAR chapter (in English and French) of the the 2025 Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition (SHCC) report Care in the Crosshairs identified 23 incidents of violence against or obstruction of health care in CAR in 2025. In these incidents, at least six health workers were kidnapped and medical supplies were looted. The actual number of incidents and the severity of the problem are likely greater, because attacks on health are may not have been reported in some locations and conflict-related service closures may not have been reflected in the data, while cuts to United States Agency for International Development (USAID) funding further reduced the presence of health care providers and the operation of health facilities.
