To reach these objectives, while guaranteeing the quality amp the relevance of the implemented activities, FPSC will adopt a case-by-case approach for all secondary health interventions based on an individual assessment of each beneficiary in order to determine the exact needs and diagnosis of the person. FPSC will furthermore work in cooperation with other agencies in the camps amp those working in the Mafraq Governorate in order to avoid duplication and maximize effectiveness of the intervention in targeting the individuals most in need.

Our priority as regards the secondary health services part of this project is to address the needs of G, B and W with physical disabilities, amp elderly persons with severe functional limitations due to aging or serious chronic diseas
