Abstract
In DFA-controlled areas, IMC supported 5 health facilities in Sana'a, providing healthcare services to a total of 11,699 consultations. The top morbidities were diabetes, malnutrition, and gynecological diseases. IMC also conducted supportive monitoring visits with the GHO and DHO in Sana'a Governorate, discussing theatre operations, referral mechanisms, quality control for laboratory services, and guidelines for managing suspected COVID-19 cases. In IRG-controlled areas, IMC supported 9 health facilities, including 1 SC, in Dhalee. Distribution of medical supplies and midwife kits for home delivery were provided to all supported health facilities to improve service delivery to beneficiaries. A monthly meeting was conducted with 75 CHVs and 35 ICCM workers, focusing on providing awareness on AWD messages, COVID-19 awareness messages, and other key messages as per the local protocol. A total of 6,248 cases were provided health consultations, with RTI, gastroenteritis, and hypertension being the top 3 recorded morbidities. IMC also continued to support 23 nutrition sites in both DFA- and IRG-controlled areas, providing nutrition services. Acute malnutrition screening and admission for treatment were conducted, with a total of 7,579 individuals screened. Among the total screened, 1,672 children and 1,078 PLW were screened by CHVs, and 873 children and 544 PLW were screened by health and nutrition workers in Al Dhalee. Health workers admitted 13 children with SAM and 285 children with SAM without medical complications to OTP services for treatment.
