Strengthening Primary Health Care System In Northern Darfur-Kutum Locality

72

The project is designed to contribute to the achievement of the long-term goal of the health and nutrition recovery strategy for Darfur; “Progressively restructure the health and nutrition arena, now a patchwork of disparate elements that emerged in response to multiple stressors, into a coherent, effective, efficient and equitable service delivery system.”  The identified gaps and deficiencies are significant and addressing them constitutes a giant endeavor. Taking into account the limiting factors such as poor implementation capacity fo the stkeholders, and hostile environment (insecurity and unpredictable instability), a sequenced/three-pronged health nutrition recovery strategy for Darfur has been endorsed by the MOH and DRA.

The project is in line with many measures included into the first prong health recovery strategy.  Maximizing the outputs of existing health and nutrition services by filling gaps, upgrading assets, expanding services, boosting productivity, and improving quality of health services is the overall objective of proposed project. And thus meeting the basic human rights of the community.

 The focus will be on infrastructure rehabilitation, as well as functional upgrading of health facilities with the heaviest workload and closer to vulnerable, conflict affected population settlements.

 The selected site is the one where the needs are the highest, the implementation will positively impact on the largest number of vulnerable people, there is safe access to enable the implementation, supervision and monitoring, and they are included into the Darfur health recovery plan (Government commitment). The planned interventions for the achievement of the project goal include:

1. Quality health services and facilities accessed by approximately 25,000 people in the Northern Darfur State, specifically Kutum Locality.

2. Basic maternal and child health care services enhanced in Northern Darfur state through training midwives to reduce maternal and infant mortality and improve postnatal care Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;} Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;}
