Provision of primary health care services in Khanyounis and Dair Al Balah ltpgtltbrgtAmidst the ongoing escalation on the Gaza Strip, the dire need for accessible healthcare has reached critical levels. The devastation wrought by the conflict has resulted in the demolition of numerous health services, exacerbating existing access barriers to essential health care. As (11) hospitals in Gaza Strip are partially functioning (5 in the north and 6 in the south) while (26) hospitals are now inoperative due to destruction by the Israeli occupation Forces. Additionally, only (30%) of primary health care facilities are functional which have compounded the challenges faced by the healthcare system in the Gaza Strip. lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtMoreover, the possibility of incursions in Rafah, urgent action is imperative to address the pressing healthcare needs of the affected population.  As it is estimated that at least 50% of the population in Rafah will start moving away from the conflict zone to seek safety in Kanyounis and the middle area of the Gaza Strip.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtTherefore, the project involves the establishment of (2) fixed temporary healthcare centers in the Khan Yunis and Deir al-Balah, to serve the IDPs in these governorates. Coordination with the health sector is crucial for selecting suitable locations for these centers. Knowing that the clinics will be housed in caravans designed to prioritize accessibility for individuals with mobility disabilities.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe clinics will offer a comprehensive range of free healthcare services through a multidisplinary team, the sltspangtervices will include general medicine, dressing for injuries, communicable and non-communicable disease treatment, pediatric care, and SRH services (This includes prenatal and postnatal care, family planning), as well as supportive services such as lab. tests, pharmacy and nursing services.  Where it is estimated that 45,000 beneficiaries will benefit from these services including women, men, boys, girls and PWDs).  Patients that will need secondary health care services, such as surgeries, normal delivery, CS or gynecological surgeries, will be referred to Al-Awda Hospital in Al-Nuseirat to receive the services free of charge, as these services are covered by UNRWA.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtIn addition to clinical services, the project will conduct outreach activities to educate the targeted group about different health topics including infectious disease prevention, personal hygiene practices and SRH, PSEA ..etc. These efforts also aim to raise awareness of 10,000 persons of both sexes and of different age groups including PWDs about the provided services in the centers.  In the same context, these activities will help integrate community members into the project and listen to their recommendations and take them into consideration.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project will maintain the integration of protection by building the capacity of the project team about the identification and referral of GBV cases and children exposed to violence, as these cases will be referred to AWDA protection teams working in Dair Al Balah Governorate or to protection service providers in the Khan Yunis Governorate.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtIt is worth to point out here that the project sustainability is ensured as the temporary health centers have been designed in such a way that it can be easily transported to the places where IDPs can move to.  Owning the caravans with the medical equipment and furniture, adding to the availability of the medical teams will also ensure its sustainability. Moreover, (4) of AWDA's primary health care centers have been destroyed totally or partially, therefore after the end of the project, the temporary health centers will be used to provide the primary health care services as alternative solutions until the completion of the reconstruction of AWDA's health centers, this will ensure that affected groups have access to primary health care services even after the end of the project.ltbrgtlt/pgt
