1 Health Sector Quarterly Bulletin Sudan Health Issue No. 1 April 2015 INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Health Sector response to Measles outbreak Setting up of National Health Emergency Call Center (ECC) Health with a difference : Positively impacting the environment Health Sector response to Measles As of 19 April, 3539 suspected measles cases (with 2015 confirmed) have been reported from 32 localities in 14 states of Sudan including 25 deaths. (CFR: 1.2%) The High Level Committee and Health Sector Measles Outbreak Response and Containment Coordination meetings are held weekly under the leadership of MOH/WHO in Khartoum. The Health Sector coordination meetings to assess the response and address the gap are also held regular in affected states. The initial localized response immunization campaign was conducted from January in 11 localities of Gedaref and Kassala with 95 % and 97% coverage respectively. With MSF-E support localized vaccination campaign was conducted in Elseref locality of North Darfur from 25 March for 10 days. The Response vaccination campaign started on 22 April 2015 in 28 first priority high risk localities of six states as shown in the map. WHO, UNICEF, NGOs and MSFs are supporting state ministries with drugs and medical supplies for measles case management, surveillance including daily reporting, active case finding and health education campaigns. UNICEF procured the required vaccine. Health Sector envelope from CHF standard allocation stands at US$ 3,489,000 The Programmatic Review Group reviewed 22 submitted Concept Notes based on guidelines set out in the GMS and recommended 13 concept notes /NGOs for full proposal development and CHF 1st Standard Allocation. Among the agencies recommended are seven INGOs, five NNGOs and one UN agency. 09 NGOs could not get funds from CHF 1st Standard Allocation, therefore the delivery of health humanitarian assistance by national NGOs may be disrupted. The total Health Sector requirement for 2015 is US$ 65 million and it is only 8% funded excluding the CHF. Some national NGOs are facing huge challenge to secure resources and it will affect delivery of health services. 1

They live in Krenik IDP camp. During a routine home visit from one of Save the Children (SC) Community Health Workers (CHW), he found that Musa was suffering from a wound in his abdomen and left thigh. This had been left untreated for 3 months and no medical advice had been sought. The wounds had been diagnosed by the parent as spider bites and had been treated through tradition methods with tree roots. However, there was no response to this treatment and the wound became more inflamed and Musa started to suffer from a fever. The SC community health promoter advised Manahel to take her baby to the hospital and gave her a referral to be seen by medical staff. Manahel went to the hospital with Musa and was seen by a SC Medical Doctor. The Doctor performed a clinical examination and laboratory investigation and diagnosed Musa with a chronic infected wound, cutaneous leshmaniasis Musa was admitted to the pediatric ward and received dressing for the wound and was provided with antibiotics and analgesic. The wound became clean and Musa was discharged in good condition with an oral antibiotic for follow up. Musa s mother continued to follow up and care for Musa until he was fully recovered 4
5 Health Education has an impact on families It was a big surprise for her! Fatima Mohamemd (24), a mother 4 kids and resident at Hay Kass in South Darfur was visited at her house by the health education campaigners last week. The busy housewife expressed her excitement that she is so happy now to know many useful tips that can save lives of her kids. As she mentioned it was the very first time to be visited by a health educator. The message delivered printed such an impression in her mind that she said: I never got the chance to hear such valuable health message relating to the health and well- being of my kids; I will not forget the message and I promise to follow the guidance to protect health of my kids. The mother also assured the campaigners that she will disseminate the health message to her community. This happened in the context of Measles Outbreak response, when health education campaign at Kass locality in South Darfur was conducted from 24th to 26th March 2015 in collaboration with WHO and Health Promotion Department of State Ministry of Health. Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) is implementing a health project funded by SDC which was designed to improve basic primary health care and WASH services for 42,875 conflict affected populations and build the capacity of health team to deliver quality services in Nertiti area of Central Darfur State. Hawa Arbab used to live in a village located around Kabkabyah area before Darfur conflict broke in 2003; and that area has no education and health services like what they have in the camp now. IRW monitoring team met Hawa Arbab on Sunday 29th of March 2015 while visiting the PHC clinic to medicate her 9 months old child Omran who was seriously having fever for six days period. Hawa s son got treated and she was also met with the midwife in the clinic who provided her with ANC services free of charge. Hawa is very pleased with the PHC services provided to them by IRW and the donors SDC and she is sending the following messages to them. I want to send a lot of thanks to IRW and donors who provided us with integrated health, WASH and education facilities and we wish they will continue providing us these services till peace prevails in our areas and we go back home to our normal live. So thanks and thanks again and again for all who assisted and provided all these services to us 5
6 HEALTH WITH A DIFFERENCE: POSITIVELY IMPACTING OUR ENVIRONMENT A team of World Vision Sudan health staff under the auspices of )تأمين Club- Tameen Al mostagbal hasالمستقبل( gone an extra mile to invest time and resources to plant trees at the Primary Health Care centers where they work. The staff has committed to go beyond the call of duty and plant a total of 200 trees within a period of two years. By this quarter, the club had managed to reach 50% of the target they set when the club was launched in May In Blue Nile state, World Vision staff in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Pan Health Care a national health NGO have planted 70 trees at six Primary Health Care centers. In South Darfur state, the club members have planted 27 trees bringing the total in both states to 97 trees planted in 10 primary health care centers in one year. The species that have been planted include fruit and shade trees such as mango, guava, brazilia, lime, neem, willows (dignabasha), fiscus (figis) and mahogany. I believe planting trees is an act of worship and charity, says Nour Eldin a medical assistant at Manawashi Primary Health Care clinic in Mershing locality of South Darfur state. Manawashi clinic is under World Vision management funded by USAID and World Vision US to provide lifesaving essential health care to communities. Ordinarily, this would be beyond my job description, however, working with World Vision, has encouraged me to plant trees at my work station. As Dr. Ibrahim Mohammed, World Vision health Supervisor in Blue Nile Program says the planting of trees will contribute significantly to securing the health of Sudanese children in the future. This is in addition to appropriate awareness raising, medical waste management, solid waste management, use of fuel efficient cooking techniques and use of Stabilized Soil Bricks for clinic construction. World Vision Sudan remains committed to step up the environmental marker by integrating environment into humanitarian programming; working with communities to improve outcomes, create multiple benefits but more so to save the future for generations to come. In 2015, World Vision health staff pledge to plant 103 trees at the various Primary Health Care centres. We shall also encourage communities that we work with including children to plant trees at the household level. Sudan Health Sector Somia I.
