The Health Sector in conjunction with Sudans’ Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) and humanitarian actors have identified 3.9 million people to be in need of health services, 53% of whom are children. This includes 57% IDPs, 31% refugees, 9% residents and 3% returnees.
The sector strategy aims to improve access to essential health services for crisis-affected people. This will be achieved by improving primary healthcare services including maternal and child healthcare, ensuring adequate and equitable access to clinical and public health interventions and improving referral systems in high priority localities. In particular, the sector will support the delivery of a standardized primary healthcare package for Introduction women, men, boys and girls that includes outpatient consultations, free of charge or affordable medicine, immunizations and treatment of endemic and chronic diseases. These services will be provided through existing health facilities or where health units do not exist or are insufficient, through mobile clinics, particularly for newly displaced communities.
The sector has targeted a total of 3.4 Million people, broken down as 2,225,000 vulnerable IDPs (protracted and new) in camps and gatherings and 975,000 vulnerable host communities, 75,000 returnees, and 125,000 refugees with a special focus on women and children.
