Project overview
WHO delivered 78 metric tons of Emergency Health Kits to Amhara Regional Health Bureaus and 33 metric tons of similar supplies to Afar Regional Health Bureaus for a total of 255,800 beneficiaries. The emergency medical supplies and deployment of Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams reached beneficiaries exceeding the targeted 418,000 beneficiaries during the implementation period. Support for disease surveillance from CERF funds also enabled WHO to provide technical and financial support to the regional health bureaus. Weekly reporting for notifiable diseases has significantly improved in the two regions of Amhara and Afar from below 80% (PHEM threshold) during the last quarter of 2021 to above 90% over the first quarter of 2022. During the implementation period, a total of 2,382 alerts were reported, out of which 82% were responded to within 72 hours.
