She underwent surgical contrivance to address her gynaecological complications and purchased steady psychosocial reinforce to aid her emotional restoration.

With funding from the European Union Humanitarian Aid (ECHO), WHO has played a crucial position in delivering essential medical and psychological reinforce to vulnerable populations affected by humanitarian crises. These collaborative efforts be certain that survivors of battle and gender-based violence, care for Fatima, receive comprehensive and tailored care.

By addressing physical and psychological health, WHO and its partners are constructing pathways for survivors to regain their dignity and access essential health services and products in challenging environments.

A lifeline of reinforce
In Adamawa State, WHO—supported by the European Price (ECHO)—has labored alongside the state executive to train and deploy seven teams of hard-to-reach healthcare staff, comprising nurses, community health extension staff, and other essential cadres. These teams operate across 17 local executive areas, delivering vital healthcare and psychosocial services and products to vulnerable communities.

Isaac Kadala, a health official in Adamawa State, recommended WHO’s unwavering dedication to equitable healthcare access, emphasising the organisation’s leadership in GBV response and psychosocial training for frontline health staff.
“WHO’s interventions, together with joint supportive supervision across health facilities, have reinforced our capacity to present grand-wanted services and products to affected populations,” he famed, reaffirming the state’s dedication to persisted collaboration with WHO and its partners.

Sustaining humanitarian action
“WHO’s interventions, on this case, and many others, align with our Nation Cooperation Strategy IV (CCSIV), which prioritises addressing the health wants of vulnerable populations amid humanitarian crises. By providing comprehensive care, we be certain that no one is left at the back of in accessing essential health services and products,” said Dr Kumshida Yakubu Balami, WHO’s Acting Emergency Manager for Northeast Nigeria’s Humanitarian Health Emergency Response.
