HIGHLIGHTS
During the reporting period, the Health Cluster partners delivered multiple health services to ensure access to necessary care for 71 732 persons in conflict-affected and rural locations across 10 states and regions, including 29 912 internally displaced people. The highest number of reached people is located in Rakhine (20 934) and in Kachin (18 750). Partners continued delivering different types of life-saving services. The relatively limited number of people reached against the annual target is due to key challenges the Health Cluster has reported since October 2023, namely: funding shortfall, access restrictions, deterioration of safety conditions.
A total of 91 283 patients have received primary health care services. Additionally, 32 patients have received trauma care services and 6 016 maternal and child health care services have been provided. In terms of financial assistance, 2 090 patients have been given cash assistance. Furthermore, 3 262 individuals have received basic psychosocial support, and 25 761 people have participated in awareness-raising sessions. Lastly, 3 389 units of medicine have been donated as part of medical support efforts.
In March 2024, the Health Cluster achieved a significant milestone by adopting its monitoring framework for the 2024 Humanitarian Need Response Plan, agreeing on 10 indicators for implementation. This framework supports the Health Cluster in aligning with the Cluster Objectives namely:
-
Outbreaks and other health emergencies are addressed through timely and effective detection and coordinated response.
-
Quality and inclusive priority life-saving health services are more accessible for 2.7 million displaced, returned, stateless and other crisis-affected people.
-
Operational health partner capacities are strengthened through the provision of guidelines, tools, trainings, supervision, and more localized coordination, to nurture quality people-centred care, better reporting, and accountability towards populations.
-
Cluster coordination and information management are strengthened at all levels.
