The Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) in Collaboration with the Bomo State Ministry of Health and relevant stakeholders had developed an Emergency Health and Nutrition Emergency Response Plan to address the humanitarian crisis in Bomo State. The key interventions delivered were; Nutrition Care, Management of co-morbidities, provision of basic essential health services, mental health and psychosocial support, supply of medicines and health related commodities, co-ordination and management information system among others. 

 

1.2 The emergency intervention program was implemented in two (2) phases over a period of Twelve (12) months, focusing on the most vulnerable populations (women, children under 5, pregnant and lactating mothers) in the most affected areas. Specifically the emergency support was targeted at: 

• IDPs in camps and host communities 

• Host Communities impacted by influx of IDPs 

• IDPs in make-shift or informal camps 

• IDPs that moved out of camps to their original communities. 

• Refugees returning from other countries 

• People residing in newly accessible areas. 

 

1.3 This intervention which was the biggest public sector intervention was adjudged very successful by all stakeholders. Consequently, His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has approved an extension and expansion of the scope of the project to sustain and enhance improvement of health outcomes among the target population.
