| Project Detail |
Project implemented by the Pierre Fabre Foundation (FPF), in conjunction with the Order of Malta Lebanon (OML), and the ASSAMEH Birth & Beyond association (ASSAMEH B&B), which aims to provide a subsidized maternal and child care service for vulnerable women and children.
CONTEXT
The economic crisis hitting Lebanon has had a strong impact on its health system , particularly due to shortages of energy, water and medical supplies and the massive exodus of health personnel. 30% of children would no longer have access to care. The main maternal and child health indicators have thus deteriorated significantly since 2019, such as life expectancy, maternal and under-5 mortality rates, and childhood vaccination coverage.
DESCRIPTION
The aim of the project is to contribute to supporting the public health system, particularly in providing care to vulnerable women and children.
The project is implemented by OML in its network of 11 primary health centers, 3 satellite centers and 8 mobile medical units, and by ASSAMEB B&B at the Quarantaine hospital.
The project thus pursues 4 specific objectives through each of which the reduction of gender inequalities will be transversal:
Improve the quality of care provision and the management of womens specific needs ;
Improve the management of pregnancies, including pathological ones, and childbirth ;
Improve pediatric monitoring and care ;
Strengthening school health and child protection. |
