Provision and scaling-up of emergency Essential lifesaving integrated health care services to vulnerable populations in Pibor and Jur River Counties of Jonglei and Western Bhar-El-gazel states RHS will provide life-saving integrated Health-WASH, nutrition and SGBV activities to address emergency essential time-critical needs of vulnerable IDPs, host communities and returnees in Pibor and Jur River Counties, Jonglei and WBeG states affected by devastating crises, high malnutrition, disease outbreaks and potential SGBV threats.
RHS aims to provide and scale-up life-saving primary healthcare services integrated with WASH, Nutrition and SGBV to mitigate excess morbidity and mortality caused by common communicable, non-communicable diseases and conﬂicts sustained injuries by increasing equitable access to quality  emergency health services to vulnerable rural groups women, men, girls and boys and SGBV victims prioritizing persons with specific needs (HIV/AIDS, PLWDs and others) of host communities and IDPs/returnees in Pibor (Manydakel and Teneth mobile clinics) and Jur River (Masana/Akol mobile clinic ) Counties, Jonglei and WBeG States respectively. Access to lifesaving primary Heath care Services in Pibor and Jur River Counties is a challenge and critical gaps exist people walk long distances for health care services in far PHCCs. RHS targets a population of 13,332 people and requests USD 126,649 budget to address their needs. The population is segregated as Pibor 8,888 people and USD 84,436 for 2 mobile clinics (Manydakel amp Teneth)  and Jur River County 4,444 people and USD 42,213 with 6,384 people for Masana/Akol mobile clinic.
RHS plans to run 3 Mobile clinics in Pibor and Jur River Counties to provide and scaled-up essential lifesaving healthcare services to vulnerable populations in target project locations so as to reduce acute needs in the areas. RHS mobiles integrated services include curative consultations, ANC, EPI services to children under 15 years, screening under 5 children for malnutrition, treatment of or referral of MAM/SAM cases to PHCCs for stabilization services, epidemic prone disease surveillance, distribution of hygiene kits, LLITNs, condoms amp Dignity sanitary pads and Health Education.

RHS target locations (Pibor and Jur River) are among the ICWG priority Counties for this allocation, Beneficiaries and activities are obtained from HC guidelines and designated reference percentiles from sources that appropriately contributes to overall strategy of increasing access to essential timely lifesaving integrated Health Nutrition and GBV services.
The project complements other multi-sector health-related projects WASH’ nutrition and GBV projects being ran in the project Counties.
