Emergency Malnutrition & Mobile Pediatric Healthcare Clinic

Acute seasonal droughts have pushed child malnutrition rates to alarming levels in pastoralist communities. For vulnerable infants and nursing mothers, the nearest district hospital is frequently more than 40 kilometers away across impassable roads.

Our Mobile Health Units bridge this vital gap by visiting hard-to-reach settlements on a strict bi-weekly schedule.

Services provided include therapeutic feeding supplements (Plumpy’Nut), routine immunizations, prenatal ultrasound screenings, clean delivery kits for expecting mothers, and rapid diagnostic testing for malaria and typhoid.
