Description
The project will ensure access of Syrian refugees in Akkar district to comprehensive health care on 3 levels and will thus contribute to decrease of their morbidity and mortality - on the level of informal settlements via the Mobile medical unit, on the level of primary health centers via increasing their technical and operational capacities and capacities of their health care personnel, and on the secondary health care level via creation and strengthening the referral system in hospitals’ catchment areas. We will increase technical and operational capacities of selected static primary health care centers by regular supplies of medicaments and medical material, as well as by building the capacities of their health care personnel. The project will set up the patient referral structures from communities to health centers and hospitals, including the coverage of costs of patients’ check-ups in primary health centers. By doing this, we will assure refugee’s access to primary, secondary and specialized health care. The project will focus on diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention of communicable diseases within the primary health care. It will focus on the most vulnerable part of the population – children, women, older people and people suffering from chronic diseases. Mobile unit will also provide specialized care for children under 5 years and provision of reproductive health care with focus on prenatal and postnatal care.
