Provision of lifesaving health care support to communities with high intersectoral severity of needs, that have experienced climatic shocks in Kismayo ltpgtThis project targets the undeserved population in Kismayo - affected by climatic shocks. The recent health assessment undertaken in March 2024 highlighted the plight faced by the communities hence the project. The current context of climatic shocks from drought and floods in the area has limited access to health care characterized by poor health indicators among the population most of whom are IDPs. This poor state coupled by weak response by actors calls for an integrated approach targeted at improving access to health services to reducing mortalities and controlling and/or prevent disease outbreaks thus minimizing further displacements. The proposed project seeks to offer lifesaving health intervention in Kismayo targeting IDPs and Communities in New Qam Qam, Dalhis and Yontoi. The project targets to reach 28,901beneficiaries with health services offered through 1 fixed PHC and 1 PHU sites (Qamqam and Dalhis) and 1 Mobile Team (Yontoi). The approach will be based on EPHS strategy and will offer:ltbrgt1. Outpatient treatment for minor illnesses for children under five and adults. This will also include access to emergency medical services where first aid will be offered in all the project sites. ltbrgt2. Immunization program as per the Somalia EPI schedule.
