Health in Emergencies

IOM’s health interventions in response to crises aim to reduce mortality, morbidity and the human suffering of crisis-affected individuals, by ensuring access to and availability of life-saving health care, while simultaneously supporting the recovery and rebuilding of resilient health systems. In Mozambique, IOM provides direct outreach and referral services through static and mobile capacity support, working closely with the Ministry of Health and other emergency sectors including the CCCM and Protection Clusters. Joint government and IOM mobile brigades and teams will deliver a variety of services, including the identification of HIV and tuberculosis patients and their referral to treatment.

Objective

Contribute to improving the health of persons living in resettlement sites and communities affected by crises.

Key Results

• Life-saving primary health-care services are available for the most vulnerable populations in resettlement sites and host communities.

• The capacities of the Government and communities to prevent, detect and respond to health threats along the mobility continuum are increased.
