Description
The project INCLUSIVE: Strengthening prevention, equitable and inclusive care for all aims to contribute to the improvement of the health and well-being of the population in Ethiopia, with particular attention to people at risk of and with disabilities in the Gambella Region. Over three years, the INCLUSIVE project will support nine health facilities: two hospitals (Gambella General Hospital, which is the referral hospital for all obstetric, neonatal and paediatric emergencies for all health facilities in the Region, and Gambella Primary Hospital) and seven health centres in the woredas of Gambella Zuria, Gambella Town and Abobo (about 118,400 people, including refugees). Here, the project will improve access to quality health services of primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of physical-motor, cognitive and sensory disability (specific objective). The project operates on three strategic axes, which correspond to the same number of expected results. To improve the effectiveness of reproductive, paediatric and neonatal health services in preventing disability, the rehabilitation and equipment of the operating theatre, surgical ward, laboratory and paediatrics of the Gambella Primary Hospital, as well as the upgrade of the electrical and plumbing systems of the Gambella General Hospital, is foreseen. Moreover, a stock of consumables and medicines will be ensured in all health facilities. Training of local staff on maternal, neonatal and child health will be carried out in order to improve capacities to prevent birth-related deaths and disabilities [ER 1 - Primary prevention]. The demand for health services by people with (or at risk of) disabilities will be strengthened by sensitizing and improving the capacities of key community actors (i.e., health and educational service providers such as health workers, health extension workers and teachers; caregivers and families; regional authorities; community activists and Organizations of People with Disabilities). The same key community actors will also be involved in the development and implementation of a system for the identification and referral of people with (or at risk of) disabilities to appropriate health services [ER 2 - secondary prevention]. In order to expand the provision of eye care and physical and motor rehabilitation, the Orthopaedic and Physiotherapy units of Gambella General Hospital will be strengthened by investing in new equipment and human resources, and outreach and CBRehabilitation services will be available in rural areas [ER 3 - tertiary prevention].
