Provision of free life-saving integrated primary health care services by running 9 mobile clinic teams and by granting support to referral health facilities (including emergency services) and through the activation of a network of community health volunteers assuring health outreach services in Aden and Sana’a governorates The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of maternal and child morbidity and mortality among IDPs, recent returnees and the conflict affected community in Aden and Sana’a, through the provision of free life-saving integrated primary health care services by running mobile clinic teams and by granting support to referral health facilities (including emergency services) and through the activation of a network of community health volunteers assuring outreach health services
The proposal follows on the priorities set by the health cluster and MoPHP for emergency health interventions: integrated primary health care and supporting ambulance referral system through a network of fully equipped and staffed mobile clinics providing essential primary health services for areas where primary health services have been disrupted or have become unavailable. 
Moreover while the proposal is for not a multi-sector programme, the project ensures high attention for protection and gender mainstreaming, aimed at ensure sufficient awareness amongst health staff (INTERSOS teams amp MoPHP staff) on protection and gender/SGBV related risks and referral pathways available. 
For Sana’a, the project will focus particularly in areas where IDPs escaping the heavy airstrikes have fled to, both within the City and in the peripheral rural districts. INTERSOS will focus on Sana’a larger capital city and Hamdan amp Bani Hushaysh districts (2 districts heavily affected by the conflict).  For Aden INTERSOS will focus on 2 peripheral districts in Aden governorates (Dar Sa’ad and Al-Buraiqa). These districts are in severe need of emergency assistance and have been identified as extremely vulnerable by UN agencies and the MoPHP with high concentration of IDPs mainly from Taiz and Aden itself and now counting increasing numbers of returnees to Aden. 
The project builds on the prior experience of INTERSOS in Sana’a and Aden implementing similar projects funded by OCHA YHPF and WHO.
Through this project at total 126.576 IDPs, returnees and host communities in Aden and Sana’a governorates will have access to integrated package of Emergency Primary Health Care (EPHC) services. EPHC include Reproductive Health/Maternal, Neonatal, Child Health (RH/MNCH), including antenatal, deliveries and postnatal care for mothers newborn care, immunization, deworming, vitamin A supplementation, screening for malnutrition, treatment and TRIAGE emergency services.
INTERSOS will deploy of 9 mobile clinics in support to 35 closed or partially functioning health facilities amp by providing support to 4 referral facilities:
- Aden: 4 mobile clinic units in support of 10 closed or partially functional health facilities, through emergency referral services (BLS Ambulances) and through the support to 2 referral facilities in Dar Saad and Al Buraiqa districts.
- Sana’a: 5 mobile clinic units in support of 25 closed or partially functional health facilities, through emergency referral services (BLS Ambulances) and through the support to 2 referral facilities in Hamdan and Bani Hushaysh district.
More over the project will establish an efficient outreach and referral mechanism from community level to primary health services and for primary to secondary health services. This will be achieved through a network of CHVs and through the BLS capacity of the mobile clinics for the transportation/stabilization of critical patients.
