Strengthening Health and Nutrition Services in Hard-to-Reach Areas
The MIEPA Project, implemented by Caritas Marsabit in partnership with Malteser International, continues to strengthen health and nutrition service delivery in hard-to-reach areas through close collaboration with the County and Sub-County Health Management Teams.
Today, the project team, together with the county health team, conducted the distribution and handover of essential medicines and nutrition commodities to Korr Health Centre and Burri-Aramia Health Facility. The support includes the provision of essential and emergency therapeutic medicines, as well as targeted supplementary feeding commodities, including CSB+, helping to address critical commodity gaps and sustain essential health and nutrition services.
The distribution and handover were accompanied by a joint project monitoring exercise, providing an opportunity for the project and government health teams to review service delivery, assess commodity availability and utilization, identify implementation gaps, and strengthen coordination to enhance the quality of services provided to communities.
This support complements the project's ongoing integrated outreach services, through which essential health and nutrition services are brought closer to communities in hard-to-reach areas. The project has also supported outreach services through the provision of anthropometric equipment, tents, chairs and tables, strengthening the capacity of outreach teams to deliver quality services in remote communities.
The County and Sub-County health teams expressed their appreciation for the continued support, particularly at a time when many nutrition commodities are currently out of stock in health facilities. The timely provision of essential medicines and nutrition commodities is helping bridge critical gaps and support continued access to essential services for vulnerable communities.
Through continued collaboration with government health structures, Caritas Marsabit and Malteser International remain committed to strengthening health facilities, supporting integrated outreach services, and ensuring that communities in hard-to-reach areas are not left behind.
Bridging commodity gaps. Strengthening outreach services. Reaching communities where the need is greatest.
