As part of this project we carried out the necessary repairs and infrastructure works at the Rasad General Health and Maternity Hospital, whose administrative coverage includes 122 994 people. A detailed plan of repair and renovation works at the hospital had been prepared following an evaluation of the building’s conditions and consultations with its management. In addition to the above, we also purchased equipment, medical products, medicines, laboratory products, and everyday use products necessary for everyday operation of the hospital.

In order to support the inhabitants of the region’s remote and hard-to-access areas we purchased two Toyota Land Cruiser mobile clinics. Both clinics were furnished with standard medical equipment and were started after their purchase, i.e. in 2022. This part of the project was completed by Caritas Polska.

Furthermore, the hospital’s medical team was supported with payment of additional salaries (17 employees of the gynaecological and maternity ward and 13 employees of the general practice ward), as well as training in infectious disease prevention and maternity care.

In 2021, we completed the 1st module of this project.

This project included three clinics in Qa’tabah region of Ad Dhale governorate, which is inhabited by 20 395 people. The PAH team bought and delivered, among other things, medicines, hardware, medical equipment, laboratory products, and essential everyday use products. Furthermore, in order to restore the clinics’ full functionality, we held a detailed evaluation of needs, following which we carried out the necessary repairs and supplied water to two clinics which were not connected to the local water supply system.

In order to support the inhabitants of regions which are difficult to reach PAH trained, equipped and paid for the work of three local midwifes and 12 volunteers who shared knowledge about, among other things, preventing infections (malaria, cholera, COVID-19), nutrition and baby care. Furthermore, the medical teams from each of the three clinics received additional salaries and trainings.

At four clinics in Imran, Fokam, Al-Qalowa, and Al-Fateha, PAH’s activities pertained to, among other things, the purchases and supply of medicines, medical hardware, everyday use products, and equipment. The medical teams from each of the four clinics (59 people) received additional salaries.

Similar to other projects completed in the healthcare sector, PAH carried out a technical evaluation of the building and drafted a repair plan. The works completed included, but were not limited to repairs of the water supply and plumbing systems, electrical wiring, repairs of toilets and sewage discharge, as well as repairs of solar panels. Two clinics were provided with water.

The administrative coverage of all three clinics is inhabited by 34 236 people.
