Background
Following the recent significant deterioration of the situation in Syria, Lebanon is witnessing a sharply rising influx of refugees along the northern and eastern borders. A rapid socio-economic assessment carried out by UNDP in these areas indicates that refugees represent a major and increasing burden on host communities, competing for already limited social services, employment and other economic opportunities. Recent reports point towards mounting frustration among host communities who feel neglected in the face of support exclusively targeting refugees. The project has the ultimate aim of increasing and sustaining stability in the areas affected by Syrian crisis through improving livelihoods and service provision in a conflict sensitive manner. The project aims to contribute to the efforts to improve economic recovery, community security and social cohesion in the affected Lebanese communities through an inclusive community based approach which will increase livelihoods options and local level service delivery.
In the framework of the initiative “Support to Local Services Providers to Cope with Communities’ Needs”, the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) requested to upgrade partially the existing Health Information System in order to monitor the “package of services” provided by the MoPH to the Primary Health Care Centers (PHCC).
The “package of services” of the universal coverage are for the essential healthcare pathways within the Primary health Care Centers. Each healthcare pathway is composed of services that will be introduced in a structured and homogeneous manner within the Primary Health Care Centers.
