PROGRAM BACKGROUND:
International Medical Corps has dramatically expanded its healthcare provision, nutrition and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) activities in Somalia in recent years. Currently, this includes the provision of primary and secondary health care services in Mogadishu, which not only lacks health care infrastructure and the provision of essential services due to a large demand and recent departure of key service providers, but also a high concentration of vulnerable Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Existing programs outside Mogadishu include an emergency nutrition program in Sanaag region of Somaliland through static and mobile feeding sites as well as primary health care (with focus on reproductive health), nutrition and WASH programming in South Central Somalia region, especially in areas recently liberated by the government and AMISOM forces. International Medical Corps has been chosen by UNICEF as one the few Implementing Partners (IPs) to roll out the Essential Package of Health Services (EPHS). As integral part of this new approach, UNICEF and the Somali Government work with local health authorities and partners across Somalia to strengthen childcare services, safe motherhood, child immunization, enhancing the access to, utilization and quality of essential health services through support to an increasing number of facilities and communities offering a minimum package of care. As part of the Somalia Mission’s strategy, International Medical Corps also plans to strategically place itself in a position to respond to refugee returnees from Kenya, Ethiopia and other regions.
