19 20 FOREIGN MEDICAL TEAMS

20 21 Foreign Medical Team Entry DOH Central Office - Bureau of International Health Cooperation (BHIC) Coordination with WHO (Country Office) Register all FMT & assess capability: 1. Type of service Type 1 Mobile clinic Type 2 Major surgery /hospital 2. Sustainability of service (short or long term) 3. Self sufficiency

21 22 Foreign Medical Team Entry BHIC coordinates with other national agencies: 1. Professional Regulations Commission (waiver of Special Temp Permit (STP) for professional practice in the Phils). 2. Bureau of Immigration (facilitates entry of foreign nationals ) 3. Bureau of Customs (facilitates entry of donations, goods)

22 23

23 24 Foreign Medical Team Entry BHIC coordinates with other national agencies: 4. Embassy (coordination as to time of arrival, ports of entry) 5. Dept of Foreign Affairs (verification of in-coming teams) Finally, BHIC issues clearance for deployment Team assignment using maps

24 This map 25

25 26 On the ground: 1. Receiving & registering FMT at the Central Operations Center (Tacloban/Palo) and hubs (Borongan, E. Samar, Ormoc City, Tacloban City, Catbalogan, W. Samar) 2. Open communication lines: Conduct orientation (health situation, maps) Invite them to daily/ weekly Quad Cluster coordination meetings at the Dept of Health OpCen - Cluster meetings maintained/sustained

26 27 On the ground: 3. Maintain a logbook of FMT registry and create directory (networking, coordination, collaboration) 4. Complemented each other in the assessment: Locals have pre Yolanda data/information FMT have data on-site

27 28 On the ground: 5. Complemented each other in addressing a problem: FMT can provide the logistics/item Locals can facilitate in bringing or establishing the logistics in the area 6. Involvement in health reporting system Role in SPEED reporting Sharing of daily/weekly accomplishment during meetings Submit written report using a template

28 29 On the ground: 7. Work with them in coming up with ideas to manage disaster and in managing difficulties that comes with disaster. Establishment of hubs (Leyte, Ormoc, E. Samar) Build capabilities of human resources 8. Acknowledge & thank them Certificate of Recognition signed by top authorities Streamers of thank you are hang in streets & in the communities.

29 Establish hubs as satellite OpCen 30

30 Acknowledgment 31

31 32 Challenges 1. Poor communication lines due to damaged facilities National actions not fully communicated to the local (impact sites) and vice-versa 2. Overwhelming responsibility due mass arrivals (team/manpower & logistics)

32 33 Challenges 3. No existing protocols on dealing with Foreign Medical Response Teams & donated logistics in large magnitude National offices established the protocols as necessary Ground ICS rely on common practices in receiving /accepting FMT and their logistics 4. Reliance of data-on-hand as basis for deployment in order to avoid overserved & underserved areas.

33 34 Challenges 5. Non-flexibility Area of deployment based on central office pronouncements Adaptability to limitations in the disaster sites (e.g. no electricity to run equipment, a large storage space enough to house their logistics )

34 35 Challenges 6. Coordination with many agencies that works for the entry and purpose of FMT. 7. Unregistered FMT: a. Back-registration b. Unaccounted for

35 36 Maraming Salamat THANK YOU SO MUCH

36 37 Lessons Learned 1. The need to review national and local Health Emergency Preparedness, Response & Recovery Plan with particular attention on networking and coordination mechanisms with responding teams especially in a mega disaster scenario.

37 38 Lessons Learned 2. The need for national protocols, guidelines, procedures on the acceptance, deployment, and exit of foreign medical teams. 3. Registration of international/ national teams and identification of their teams capabilities/ expertise during pre-disaster phase.

38 39 Lessons Learned 4. There is a need to develop a feedback mechanism from the central office to impact site and vice-versa on the deployment processes, in order to help assess the relevance/ appropriateness of an FMT in the disaster site. 5. Contingency Plan of Action when standard protocols and procedures fail.

39 40 Typhoon Haiyan is a storm of historic severity, it was unprecedented in magnitude. It will forever be talked about by Filipinos and people all over the world in the many years to come.
