Description

The aim of this project proposal is to improve health care of internally displaced persons in Syria. Main goal of the project is to decrease morbidity and mortality in Aleppo, with special focus on mothers and children. It will create conditions for provision of quality health care in reaction to the current refugee crisis in the country. Project, if implemented, will help 38,000 inhabitants of East Aleppo as well as 17,000 inhabitants of Midan suburb. Availability of health care for people in the area as well as care for elderly and handicapped people will be dramatically improved. In addition, preventive measures to decrease the spread of infectious diseases (especially Covid-19) will be implemented. Altogether, it is expected that 26,555 members of the local community will benefit from the project. The project aims to bring the following results: Result 1: Improved access to quality preventive health care in Aleppo thanks to a first-contact ambulance. 6,500 displaced persons will receive treatment in an ambulance/dispensary in Aleppo. It is expected that at least 2,600 will be women, pregnant women, and children under 5. A medical doctor will be employed, and the dispensary will be regularly supplied with medication and health material based on its needs. Result 2: Access to quality treatment of elderly and handicapped persons in Aleppo thanks to a Center for Social Services. Thanks to the project implementation and the planned usage of solar panels, renewable energy will be produced, and electrification and warm water will be provided for the Center for Social Services and its 55 elderly and handicapped clients. The Center will also have a medical doctor and will be supplied by medication and health material. Result 3: Prevention of the local community from infectious diseases (especially Covid-19) thanks to education and a distribution of hygienic kits. Unfortunately, there are no preventive measures in place in Eastern Aleppo. Thanks to the project implementation, a distribution of hygienic kits and education of local populations will be ensured thanks to 5 community workers. Community workers will visit families of internally displaced people to distribute „anti-covid hygienic kits. In addition, they will also oversee basic education of the local population in terms of infectious diseases (especially Covid-19). Project implementation will help cca 20,000 members of the local community. The following activities are planned to achieve the planned results: • Setting-up of an ambulance, hiring of a doctor • Dispensary operations • Supplying dispensary with medication • Purchase and installation of solar panels • Supplying the Center with medication • Selection of community workers • Elaboration and subsequent distribution of educational materials Project implementation will lead to an improved health state of internally displaced persons. Eventually, improved access to health care will lead to lower demand for migration to Europe. If needed due to security reasons, the location of the project could be changed into different areas of Syria. Project implementation will actively incorporate measures supporting the cross-sectoral topics including gender equality as it will focus on provision of health care to disadvantaged communities such as mothers, pregnant women, elderly and handicapped people and will thus also support economic independence of women. It also incorporates measures supporting the cross-sectoral topic of environmental protection as it will support usage of renewable sources of energy by installation of solar panels to provide electricity and warm water for the Center of Social Services.
