Integrating Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Bosaso.
The programme through a contribution to Médecins du Monde-France aims at improving access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for the population of Bosaso (Puntland, Somalia). This will be done through progressively integrating the SRH into existing primary health care services offered in health facilities. Regional health authorities as well as local health providers are closely involved in the intervention to not only ensure that services are culturally responsive but also that they become an integral part of the health system.

Contesto |
The fragility of the situation in Somalia over the past two decades has resulted in the collapse of the public health system. While the Somali health sector and the Joint Health and Nutrition Programme (JHNP, 2012-2016) have made considerable gains since 2012, undergoing a real transformation, the road ahead remains fragile and uncertain. The highest rates of maternal mortality in the world are found in Somalia, with a maternal mortality ratio of 1,400 per 100,000 and an under-five mortality rate of 180 per 1,000 live births. Access to maternal services is low, with only 9% of births being attended by a skilled birth attendant, which puts women at high risk of mortality and morbidity in and around child birth. The current severe drought situation prevailing in Somalia, including in Puntland, is putting additional strains on the health system with increased cases of malnutrition being reported (over 320,000 acutely malnourished children are in need of urgent nutrition support, and more than 50,000 are severely malnourished). Movements to urban centers are also expected to take place as the situation deteriorates. Bosaso (Puntland) is the third major port city in Somalia. It is a transit town for many migrants and refugees. As of November 2016, UNHCR reported that 34’450 Somali refugees living in Yemen had returned to Somalia, a significant number through Bosaso port. Puntland also hosts the largest number of internally displaced populations (IDP) in Somalia, with approx. 60’000 in Bosaso alone. |
