SANA”A, YEMENOctober 20th, 2012

Situation– Overview

On-going conflict, instability, disruption of social services and

inadequate(access, avail. , utilization) health care services, including

EPI, RH and HIV

physical damage to health infrastructures, compromised

environmental situation and meagre resources for health, HR

high risk/threat of endemic and emerging communicable diseases

Conflict induced morbidity and mortality (a protection issue)

High risk of morbidity and mortality from childhood vaccine

preventable diseases, respiratory infections, diarrhoea, pregnancy

related illnesses

Physical and Environ. Hazards and low public awareness/risk of

water-borne and vector-borne diseases,

Common morbidity and mortality: diarrhoeal diseases/ cholera,

malaria, ARI and vaccine preventable diseases, eg. measles.

Outbreaks of Hemorrhagic Fever: dengue and Chickongonia

Global Acute Malnutrition rates range up-to 31% (Hodaida).

Improved access to essential health care services, including RH an

EPI and HIV

Mental health and special psycho-social services to affected

population

Immediate needs

Strategic Priorities Improved intra and inter- cluster coordination with WASH and nutrition clusters on joint life-saving

interventions in priority districts

Improved access to essential package of PHC services for vulnerable populations, including RH/HIV

and EPI services

Strengthen HS, including rehab., equip and upgrade health service delivery capacity including casualty

management for affected populations

Strengthen disease surveillance , ensuring early detection and timely response to disease

alerts/outbreaks.

Ensure maximum vaccine coverage: boosting the routine immunization and launching of immunization

mass campaigns.

Cluster Objectives• Objective 1: Ensure effective intra-cluster and inter-cluster

coordination, primarily between the Health, Nutrition and WASH Clusters with a focus on joint needs assessment, programming, monitoring and evaluation.

• Objective 2: Improve access to quality primary and secondary (hospital) health-care services that include basic health and emergency referral services for vulnerable populations, through a focused approach on health system strengthening

• Objective 3: Strengthen local capacity to predict, prepare for, respond to, and manage public health risks that include communicable diseases and seasonal emergencies through establishment and strengthening of DEWS.

• Objective 4: Reduce in maternal and child morbidity and mortality within priority districts, focusing on safe motherhood and child survival interventions.
