CCM (Comitato Collaborazione Medica) is an Italian NGO operating in Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and Uganda, specialized in health-related projects’ implementation, either in humanitarian and development contexts.

1.BACKGROUND

The Health Sector in conjunction with Sudans’ Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) and humanitarian actors have identified 3.9 million people to be in need of health services, 53% of whom are children. This includes 57% IDPs, 31% refugees, 9% residents and 3% returnees. The sector strategy aims to improve access to essential health services for crisis-affected people. This will be achieved by improving primary healthcare services including maternal and child healthcare, ensuring adequate and equitable access to clinical and public health interventions and improving referral systems in high priority localities. These services are currently provided through existing health facilities or where health units do not exist or are insufficient, through mobile clinics, particularly for newly displaced communities. Health services research and health care management have frequently focused on the role of supplies and personnel for the quantity and quality of health care services. It is obvious that qualified and motivated personnel are crucial for preventive and curative medical services, and vaccines as well as drugs are of utmost importance for the health of people. However, the role of health care facility infrastructure as a major component of a health care system must not be underestimated. The term ‘infrastructure’ is used in manifold ways to describe the structural elements of systems. In the context of a health care system and in reference to health care facilities, we defined “facility infrastructure” as the total of all physical, technical and organizational components or assets that are prerequisites for the delivery of health care services. It can be seen as a major component of the structural quality of a health care system. Besides, professional management is required to safeguard the functionality of all components. For instance, maintenance of infrastructure frequently constitutes a problem in resource poor countries. It is frequently neglected due to lack of funds, availability of spare parts, poor training or little availability of maintenance personnel and a culture disregarding maintenance. Consequently, the condition of assets is often rather poor and contributes to the low structural quality of health care services. This calls for a higher managerial awareness of infrastructure.

2.SCOPE OF THE SERVICE

2.1 Purpose and Objectivesof the rapid assessment

The purpose of conducting a Health Facilities (HFs) assessment, which consists of all different engineering components, is to identify problems and deficiencies that are currently limiting the provision of health services at both primary (Primary Health Care Centers, PHCC) and secondary (County Hospitals) levels of the Health system. Then, based on an analysis of the findings a prioritized set of recommendations are to be made consistent with current MOH standards and guidelines (Basic Package for Health Services Delivery) for the safe delivery of primary and secondary healthcare services.

The main objectives of conducting HFs assessments are to:

• assess the condition and the status of the hospitals, PHCC and compound buildings and infrastructure;

• estimate if the HFs are over- or under-utilized;

• determine if the utilities and sanitation system are functioning and adequate for the needs of the HFs;

• ensure the availability of adequate space and facilities for primary and secondary healthcare services;

• assess if patient care is compromised by space limitations, inappropriate use of existing space and/or a combination of the two;

· advice on the best approach to designing and building hospitals and PHCC.

2.1.1Geographical area to be covered

All CCM Hospitals and Primary Health Care Centers in South Sudan:

• Madre Teresa Hospital in Turalei, in Twic County;
• Tonj Civi Hospital in Tonj South, Tonj County;
• Marial Lou Hospital in Tonj North County;
• 2 PHCC and 3 PHCU in Awerial County;
• 3 PHCC and 9 PHCU in Tonj East County;
• 2 PHCC and 5 PHCU in Yirol East County;
• 1 PHCC and 8 PHCU in Tonj South County;

2.2 Specific Tasks of the assessment

Specific tasks to be completed at the Hospitals and HFs include:

1. Determine the physical (structural) condition of the buildings;

2. Determine the condition of the water and waste water networks, water storage capacity and reservoirs, septic tank(s), dry pit latrines, toilets, sluices and any other sanitary systems;

3. Check the space used for storage of drugs, consumable commodities and equipment;

4. Check the waste management system;

5. Check the status and load of the electrical distribution system;

6. In close coordination with the health technical staff, assess how easy (or difficult) it is for patients to access health services, especially HIV/AIDS and TB, and the potential for cross contamination – mixing healthy clients seeking preventive services (e.g., immunization services or family planning) with infectious patients (e.g., untreated TB);

7. In close coordination with the health technical staff, determine the location and assess the condition of space used for treatment of chronic diseases, including HIV/AIDS and TB;

8. In close coordination with the health technical staff, determine the location and assess the condition of space used for maternity care (labor, delivery and immediate postpartum) services in support of prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV;

9. In close coordination with the health technical staff, review hygiene practices (e.g., water taps and sinks for handwashing) in examination and treatment rooms (e.g., labor and delivery area) and environmental health control measures (e.g., is there adequate cross ventilation in examination and treatment rooms, especially those used by HIV/AIDS and TB patients);

10. Collect and prioritize the findings in order to link identified problems and deficiencies to potential solutions;

11. Develop a set of preliminary recommendations consistent with resources available for renovation/reconstruction of the HFs.

2.3Reporting Line

The consultant will report to the CCM Country Representative for strategic coordination. He/she will work in close collaboration with the CCM Logistic Coordinator in Juba, as well as the CCM staff members of all county bases for inputs into the development of the engineering assessment.

2.4 Expected outputs of the assessment:

The major outputs of the HFs assessment visits are preparation of two reports:

1. Health Facilities Assessment Site Visit Report. This short report should be prepared as soon as possible after the HF assessment has been conducted. This report should be based, in part, on the interview with the HF in-charge, or designated representative. It should summarize the problems or issues the HF in-charge considers important, the main observations by the team, the preliminary set of recommendations and, most importantly, response to the feedback (debriefing) provided by the assessment team leader prior to departing the HF. In particular, it is important to note in this report:

• if the HF has access to other funds that may be combined with existing funds;

• what in-kind contributions the HF and/or the county health department is prepared to make (e.g., help in moving furnishings and other items as part of improving space use, cleaning up the HF or removing/relocating damaged or non-repairable equipment); and

• does the HF accept the findings and preliminary recommendations, especially with regards to changing the location of various HF activities and functions to improve patient and staff flow patterns and to make the HF environment safer for patients, staff and healthy clients?

2. Health Facilities Assessment Report. This report should include the following:

a. HFs Compound Drawings. A detailed CAD of the entire facility “as built” should be developed that includes the name of each building and use of each room/area/space. In addition, a second set of CADs should be developed that identifies proposed clinical (patient and staff) flow changes, priority renovation activities and potential areas for expansion (new

constructions).

b. Damage Take-Off sheets. A full set of take-off sheets should be provided that support the drawings and calculations for each room/building. This data is used in developing the HF renovation BOQ.

c. HF Renovation BOQ. A full BOQ should be produced that quantifies all identified requirements, including any changes in space use, additional space (if required), upgrades/repairs to utility networks, maintenance works and other improvements. (The cost estimate should be based on construction prices for Juba with a regional factor applied depending on the HF location.)

CCM (Comitato Collaborazione Medica) is an Italian NGO operating in Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and Uganda, specialized in health-related projects’ implementation, either in humanitarian and development contexts.

1. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Since the outbreak of violence on 15 December 2013, the conflict in South Sudan has devastated the lives of millions of people. Well over one million people have been forced to flee their homes, a number that continues to rise. Approximately 950,000 people are displaced within South Sudan, and a further 290,000 have fled to neighbouring countries. About 80,000 displaced people are living in “protection sites” in the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) bases, where there are serious health and security concerns. Many other internally displaced persons are sheltering in remote areas with little or no access to clean water, food or humanitarian assistance.

Obstructions to the movement and activities of humanitarian agencies and violence against humanitarian personnel and assets by the parties to the conflict have led to extreme difficulties in providing aid and assistance to displaced communities. The rains is to begin shortly and will soon render many roads impassable, cutting off civilian populations from life-saving help. The already dire humanitarian situation risks becoming a crisis.

CCM is operating in South Sudan since 1984 supporting the Health System Development and promoting health among local communities. CCM is currently working in 5 Counties, employing about 50 expatriates and 500 South Sudanese staff.

The above-mentioned political, financial and economic crises have further contributed to the increasing of crime episodes (both in Juba and in the rural areas) and CCM has indeed been the target of several attacks, with serious consequences for assets and employees.

Security threats can be a major obstacle to CCM achieving its goals and, if not dealt with properly, can result in major losses for the organization, including the death of staff. In many areas where CCM works, if security risks are not managed, CCM would not be able to implement programmes. Effective management of safety and security is crucial to CCMs objective of ensuring consistent support to Ministry of Health in achieving planned country program results for South Sudanese population.

In November 2015, CCM Board of Directors have approved the organisation of a Security Policy, which indicates the need of the elaboration of Country Security Plans, prioritizing countries that are considered at higher level of insecurity and the training of staff on security behaviours and Standard Operation Procedures.

General Background of Project or Assignment:

UNHCR aims to enable refugees to maximise their health status by supporting them in having equal access to quality primary, emergency and referral health services as nationals.

Neonatal deaths, defined as any death that occurs in the first 28 days of life, currently account for approximately 44 per cent of all deaths of children under five years of age in low- and middle- income countries. Approximately three-quarters of these deaths are early neonatal deaths that occur during the first week of life, including 36 per cent that occur within the first 24 hours after birth.

As part of UNHCR’s efforts to develop strategies to improve newborn health and health services, a New-born Health Care baseline assessment has been undertaken in South Sudan, Jordan and Kenya.

The baseline assessment has established targeted new born care interventions necessary to save newborn lives in refugee settings in the refugee. The primary output is rolling out the establishment of a comprehensive newborn care package in line with UNHCR operational guidance on improving newborn care in refugee settings. Furthermore, the assessment has also identified a package of trainings aiming building up technical capacities of delivery and new-born health care service providers, as well as to improve home visits from the Community Health Workers to promote the health, growth and development of infants.
