Context of intervention:
MdM has supported the running of the MMU attached to the Parish of Qaa PHC since 2013 with continuous capacity building of the medical team to ensure quality service provision. This partnership ended in April 2024 and the recent withdrawal of other healthcare actors (IMC and MSF) has led to an increase of emergency needs in the area. MdM has presently a Rapid Response Team who is able to respond quickly and effectively to healthcare emergencies and contribute to preventive care.
The activities encompass the following:
- Deployment of a Rapid Response Team, composed of 2 nurses, whose role is to respond to any outbreak in the area (assessment/diagnostic definition, consultations, provision of needed care and treatment, information sharing to access additional healthcare services) – 4 months;
- Deployment of a community midwife, whose role is to provide sexual and reproductive health services including family planning consultation and distribution of commodities (condoms, pills), STIs consultation and provision of appropriate care and treatment to women and girls) – 4 months;
- Awareness raising activities over (seasonal) health risks in the area and reception of alerts from the communities to deploy the Rapid Response Team – 4 months.
The above activities will be implemented directly by MdM team, in coordination with other stakeholders in the region.
