FIELD COORDINATOR KPK

IN CHARGE OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE AND EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE PROJECT IN

KPK PROVINCE

Starts April, 2014

Since 2009, the Khyber‐Pakhtunkhwa province (KPK, ex‐North West Frontier Province) has been experiencing several crises, following continuous military interventions in various locations which resulted in massive displacements of populations. MdM has been operating to provide access to health care services to both displaced and host populations in KPK since April 2009.

The health system in KPK, and in particular in the areas where a large number of IDPs have settled, appears to be over‐burdened and unable to respond to the increased demand. Indeed, qualified human resources are insufficient; most of the health facilities are partially damaged; drugs and equipment are often not available and the referral system is not functional.

MdM’s approach in KPK is community‐based and principled‐based and relies on the capacity to provide adequate response to fresh crisis in the province as a result of conflict or natural disaster.
