XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-18/DDA-3379/RA1/H/INGO/10326 United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs According to the 2018 HDRP, the Meher finding report revealed that two previous years of consecutive drought, compounded with weak rains at the end of 2017 led hundreds of thousands destitute in southern and south-eastern Ethiopia. In Oromia region, 1.58 Million people need health support. This massive influx of people in a short period has created humanitarian crisis and is pushing to the limited capacity of the Oromia Regional State and Federal Government to meet the basic lifesaving needs of the IDPs. Majority The overall goal of the health response project is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality through improved access to basic PHC and referral services for vulnerable drought and conflict affected communities (IDPs and host communities) in Fedis, Gursum and Babile woredas of East Hararghe zone, Oromia region. This will be realized by establishing MHNT and provision of basic free of charge primary health care for affected IDPs and close host communities, conducting awareness creation on prevention of major reportable diseases (AWD, Measles, Scabies and Malaria), provision of essential drugs and Medical supplies. This project will complement the ongoing efforts by the Ethiopian Government and other stakeholders to contain the impact of health threats created by lack of access to basic health care.
