Emergency life-saving health response for vulnerable populations in Bayhan district, Shabwah Governorate (Pillar 3) ltpgtRelief International’s (RI) proposed
intervention is a continuation of years of the provision of life-saving and
essential health services across Yemen, and specifically in the South in
Shabwah governorate. RI carried out a thorough needs assessment focusing
specifically on the two targeted health facilities (HFs) in Bayhan district of
Shabwah governorate, which highlighted critical gaps in essential health
services to the targeted communities. nbspRI will contribute to the
objectives prioritized in the YHF SA1 2023, specifically under the health
sector, through ensuring access to quality and free of charge preventive and
curative health services to targeted communities.ltbrgtlt/pgt

ltp class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.95pt"gtltspan style="font-family:"gtThrough
the intervention, RI will target one health center (HC), Maternal and Child HC,
and one health unit (HU), Dhommer nbspHU
(Annex 1) where RI will support the provision of minimum service packages (MSP)
comprised of essential health services such as vaccination, integrated
management of child illnesses (IMCI), and reproductive health (RH). The
availability and accessibility to such services are especially critical during
times of emergencies given the heightened risk of morbidity and mortality in
the crisis affected communities. According to the assessment findings, Ri will
support the provision of MSP nbspnbspthrough the recruitment of 22 qualified health
workers (HWs) as well as support staff at the targeted HFs who will be incentivized
with health hazard allowance, additionally RI will supply the HFs with
essential medications, medical supplies, and medical equipment, and furniture.
Under the WASH sector, RI will provide minor rehabilitation of the HFs including
improvements to the physical structure of the HFs, water systems, sewage, and
waste disposal management.nbsplt/spangtlt/pgt

the accessibility of essential health services by catchment population resides
in the 2ltsupgtndlt/supgt and the 3ltsupgtrdlt/supgt tier, RI will support the outreach
activity conducted by HFs HWs by providing the activity running costs.lt/spangtlt/pgt

part of ensuring the consistency and the continuity of supported HFs services,
and to ensure the quality of the provided services, RI will focus on the
capacity building of the HWs. Therefore, RI, in coordination with Ministry of
Health (MOH) and Government Health Office (GHO), will conduct two training
sessions involving the 22 HWs, which will include basic integrated management
of child illnesses over the course of 16 days and infection prevention control
(IPC) training to 16 HWs over 5 days. The two trainings will be facilitated and
supervised by MOH as well as GHO.nbspThrough this project RI will support the
referral of critical and complicated cases from supported primary HFs to Bayhan
hospital for secondary and specialized health care. Referred cases will be
provided with per diem covering meals, accommodation and round-trip travel
allowance to ensure proper access to higher level of care. The referral
mechanism will be carried out according to RI’s standard operational procedures
(SOP) for health referrals (Annex 4).nbsplt/spangtlt/pgt
