This will ensure prevention of malaria infection, ensuring less pressure on malaria medicines. This will also ensure clinics are well stocked and don’t run out of malaria medicines fast since it is expected that the IDPs will increase uptake of health services at the facilities. This ensures that the affected communities continue to receive basic primary care in regard to malaria treatment. The distribution of 500 CDKs to health facilities will ensure pregnant women can access safe delivery services thus preventing post-natal infections. The distribution of these CDKs will be done through HFs that are located in localities where the IDPs have been arriving and integrating.lt/spangtltspan style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif color: rgb(0, 32, 96)"gtlt/spangtlt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif color: rgb(0, 32, 96)"gtlt/spangtlt/pgtltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif color: rgb(0, 32, 96)"gt lt/spangtltspan style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif color: rgb(0, 32, 96)"gtIt is expected that the influx of IDPs will put pressure on food security in the region making IDPs prone to relatively higher rates of acute malnutrition. To address this Samaritan’s Purse will target vulnerable U5-children and PLWs with blanket distribution of high-energy biscuits (HEB) to last one month. In addition, Samaritan’s Purse will distribute RUTF and RUSF to HF in locations where IDPs have been arriving and integrating to manage severe acute malnutrition and moderate acute malnutrition among children between 6 months and 59 lt/spangtltfont color="#002060" face="Verdana, sans-serif"gtmonths.lt/fontgtlt/pgt
