The current humanitarian health crisis requires urgent attention to trauma and emergency healthcare services. There is a critical shortage of trauma care drugs, medical supplies, laboratory equipment, and medical kits, which poses a significant challenge for hospitals and ambulance services. These services often lack sufficient electricity or fuel supplies to continue providing lifesaving services, further exacerbating the crisis.
In addition to physical care, access to essential primary and secondary healthcare services is vital for the general population, particularly vulnerable groups such as women, children, chronic illness patients, and survivors of gender-based violence. To address these needs, priority response activities include maximizing and supporting trauma care services at pre-hospital, hospital, and post-hospital levels. Providing early access to postoperative care and rehabilitation services is also crucial for the injured.
Establishing Emergency Medical Teams at key hospitals and setting up field hospitals are also critical response activities. Ensuring fuel supply to hospitals, primary healthcare centers, and ambulance services is essential for continued service provision. Additionally, supporting the capacity of existing primary and secondary healthcare services is a high priority. This includes treatment of illnesses, management of non-communicable diseases, nutrition interventions, sexual and reproductive health services, maternal and child health services
