IOM - Urgent Appeal for Funds for Health Activities in South Sudan
Format
IOM has been providing emergency lifesaving primary health care services to vulnerable populations including IDPs, returnees, and conflict affected host in Upper Nile, Unity, and Western Bahr El Ghazal, activities that have been implemented since 2013. At present, IOM supports 22 health facilities through the provision of primary health care and routine immunization services, through both static and mobile/outreach interventions in Malakal, Wau and Rubkona counties, both inside and outside IDP sites. Most of the health facilities supported by IOM are located in extremely hard-to-reach locations at which there are no other health partners operating, such as Greater Baggari in Western Bahr-el-Ghazal and Ding Ding in Unit, through which IOM reaches extremely vulnerable communities, including populations displaced, particularly as a result of floods or conflict.
