For the Health sector, two modalities will be used to address both the IDPs amp host community’s priority needs during the COVID-19 outbreak by maintaining and enhancing HFs functionality and their role in the provision of life-saving health services in the context of Covid-19 , enhancing people accessibility and healthcare services utilization as well as for better sustainability. The first modality is the provision of essential and emergency lifesaving health care services in fixed two HFs ( two hospitals).The targeted hospitals are (Al Shaheed Mohammed hail in Marib city and Al Salam hospital in Qa’atabah district of Al-Dhale’e Governorate). This kind of services will serve the beneficiaries at the first level of HF catchment area, whereas the second and third levels will be covered via the second modality which is two  emergency mobile medical teams (EMMTs) outreach activities to serve the existing IDPs sites and to cover any gaps in the IDPs response. The targeted 2 EMMTs and 2 HFs will be provided with the suitable needed medicines, medical supplies, necessary equipment and laboratory solutions, while the capacity building of health workers is still one of the main pillar of this project towards serve sustainable services in health sector after project end. 

Shelter activities will be provided to IDPs at collective centers and among host communities in Ma'arib district through the implementation of lifesaving and life-sustaining activities: provision of core NFI kits, NFI bedding kits, Emergency Shelter kits amp the provision of flood mitigation solutions in the shape of sand bags giving priority in providing assistance to the disabled people, female amp child headed households, GBV survivors, children, elderly persons and PWSNs. 
Coordination with health cluster, Shelter cluster, Local authorities, GHOs and DHOs has already done to support and facilitate the assessment and the planned interventions and to avoid any duplication with other partners. All stakeholders will be coordinated during the implementation of activities with focus on strengthening the stewardship of local authorities to enable them performing in more effective and efficient ways.

The designed approach in this project is guided by clear findings of multiple RNA assessment that had been conducted at the targeted districts.
