This intervention aims to support, sustain and improve comprehensive healthcare services currently being delivered at seven SRTF funded PHCs and a COVID-19 hospital which were established under the first three phases of this intervention. In addition to the support to the PHCs, this intervention support will ensure continuation of services provided by the COVID-19 specialized hospital operating and supporting 20 ICU beds and 30 critical treatment patient beds with a fully trained 24/7 medical staff. It will also support seven ambulances to continue to deliver basic healthcare in the seven targeted locations.

With a total budget of EUR 1.7 million, it is estimated that 82,744 people will directly benefit from the continued health services that include but are not limited to pediatric, midwifery, case stabilization, ambulatory services, free laboratory services and free medication from the PHCs pharmacies.
