Description

The project aims at improving the health conditions of the vulnerable population of the city of Juba, capital of the Republic of South Sudan, with particular reference to the most vulnerable groups including IDP, and persons (especially children) with disabilities. In order to achieve such objective, the project will be developed on two different lines of action, with Usratuna Pediatric Polyvalent Center as pivotal structure.First of all, the Usratuna Primary Health Care Department (which includes a dispensary, a laboratory, a pharmacy, a vaccination service, a specialized Antenatal and Postnatal Care Service, and a centre the diagnosis and pharmacological treatment of epileptic subjects, unique in the whole Juba) will be the focal point of a network of Governmental dispensaries widespread throughout the territory, which will be supported, so as to create reference points for basic health, according to the standards of the main health document of the Government of South Sudan (the Basic Package of Health Services - BPHS). These include prevention, visits and basic treatments, referral of patients to secondary structures in case of need, pre and postnatal visits and non-complicated deliveries. Secondly, the services of the Rehabilitation Department of Usratuna Center, and its two outreach rehabilitation branches in the Municipalities of Kator and Munuki, will be enhanced with an important training intervention, and expanded in terms of availability of services (e.g. start-up of a new occupational therapy service), so as to increase the number of beneficiaries, as well as the quality and quantity of the services provided. The two interventions are absolutely complementary to each other, and aim at reaching all three Municipalities of the City of Juba, in order to increase the access to services, especially for the benefit of the people who are systematically excluded (in particular the so-called Urban IDPs and people with disabilities). Through specific training of all the health workers, it will be possible to create an appropriate referral system for people with disabilities from the outreach dispensaries to Usratuna Rehabilitation Center, trying to detect the very first signs of deviation from what the WHO considers as normal development. This aims to reduce the age of first assessment for children with disabilities, so as to proportionally increase the opportunities and effectiveness of the rehabilitation intervention.Finally, for what is regarding the close relation between health and rehabilitation, the referral channel will be strengthened with some hospitals in the nearby Uganda, with which Usratuna Center has signed specific agreements, for the execution of surgical interventions that, in most cases, are real life-saving actions (ref. UN Convention on the Rights of persons with disability, art. 10), for cases of hydrocele, cleft palate, clubfoot, etc. Interventions that cannot currently be carried out in the hospitals of South Sudan, for the absence of the necessary facilities and hygiene conditions. read more close
