The total number of children vaccinated by 3 nationwide campaigns for polio and measles is 7,796,000 children aged 0 - 15 years

In light of the deteriorating security situation and further disruption of basic social services, the need for humanitarian interventions has increased in the relatively unstable and insecure governorates of Sa’ada, Al-Hudaydah, Hajjah, Abyan, Lahj and Aden, as the host governorate for many IDPs. The current conflict in Abyan has led to further displacements also in the neighbouring governorates while basic services, including healthcare, have been further disrupted in the affected areas.

The Health Cluster was able to achieve most of its objectives on the basis of the proposed indicators, particularly in providing basic health care services to the IDPs residing in the camps where 95% could be covered. Also, 40% of IDPs outside the camps could be assisted with basic health care services. The immunization coverage for measles was more than 95% nationwide and in IDP camps.

As result of delays and lack of funding for critical Health Cluster projects, a number of activities had to be discontinued in Sa'ada, Haradh and Al-Jawf. Other activities have been downsized and populations will not have access to basic health care services. As a consequence, the capacity to detect and respond to disease alerts and outbreaks, as well as the vaccination coverage for vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD) has been minimized, creating the risk of re-emergence of the polio virus. Moreover, the low capacity and lack of access of Government partners has further disrupted the delivery of quality and comprehensive health care packages to the affected populations. The lack of access and effective monitoring and evaluation of activities are important implementation challenges, which are further compounded by the low health awareness level of communities.

Health indicators are reaching alarming dimensions. Only 35.7% of deliveries are assisted either by a midwife or a skilled birth attendant, the caesarean section rate is below 1% (the target is a rate between 5-15%) and the subsequent maternal mortality rate stands at 365/100,000 live births. UNFPA aims to deliver coordinated humanitarian response to ensure that women and girls can access basic emergency obstetric and neonatal care (BEmONC) and comprehensive emergency obstetric and neonatal care (CEmONC) to prevent a rise in maternal and infant mortality and morbidity rates as well as the spread of HIV.

The total number of target beneficiaries for health services stayed approximately the same, with the exception of priority health interventions and geographical prioritizations for the control of communicable diseases and reproductive health needs. In these areas, existing PHC services and specific reproductive healthcare (RH) services and family planning interventions will have to be strengthened. Such programmes include the training of health personnel and midwives, as well as the supply of RH kits and safe delivery kits, with the ultimate goal of increasing the number of deliveries assisted by trained health personnel.

Priority interventions of the Health Cluster for the second half of 2012 include: PHC packages; outbreak detection and response; mass casualty management; integrated outreach, expanded programme on immunization, reproductive health and integrated management of childhood illness (EPI, RH & IMCI) and mass vaccination. The Health Cluster is working closely with non-Cluster partners, such as MSF-France, to share information and coordinate health activities.
